Is the riding on the site at Elevadan??? It is not at Longleat so I decided the whole thing was too much hassle!

no itt is five minates down the road but they pick you up and drop you back off!!!

it was good bit nose too tail they new what they had too do ! but it was relaxing as didnt need to concentrate good break well until a pheasant flew out of a bush if i was in a dresage areana wuld of scored well for side ways canter!!

I thought it ws really good too.

Went last november, rode a coloured mare, lucy ( i think) and I dont usually like coloureds ( hides behind sofa for fear of being beaten by coloured pony fans!:D ) and was taken on the fast hack by a woman on an ace ardenne called Trevor.

Pace was fantastic, we hant got any riding like that up here, so was nice just to be able to have a blast on sensible but responsive horse.

Couldn't have afforded 3 rides tho, bit on the steep side £ wise.

Just what I am looking for!!!!

We are going to center parcs tomorrow, elevedon and I still haven't booked a ride. They still have spaces online but I thought I wouldnt bother but now I think I will regret it. Not sure if I want to do the intermediate one or the advanced one. What would you suggest? I can walk trot canter etc but how much cantering was there?

first ride trevor took us out i rode freda second ride i rode secret and third time i rode lucy loverly girl!!!
yes is a bit step £ but worth it i think
as for which one to do i think it depemds on you and how much canetring you have done out etc we had 5/6 good long canters!
although my daughter is14 and she not cantered out before and she coped really well with it!!

[welsh-by-name..]

Yep, lots of long canters, made me realise how unfit, me and my horse at home were, compared to this lot!

The canters were all on flat or uphill, and horses are used to it, so no racing or overtaking, think you'll be fine.

Sounds good actually. Maybe I will go riding when I go again next year. (I couldn't resist the 25% return booking discount:rolleyes:)
