HORSE RIDING

Pony trekking takes place on the Estate from April to mid September using Highland ponies. The treks follow tracks through forests and glens on the Estate – a great way to see the scenery. On offer are 1 and 2 hour treks for beginners and 1 or 2 hour hacks for experienced riders. The treks are not suitable for children under 12, as the ponies are too big and strong, but the Trekking Centre offer pony rides. For further information and bookings, please telephone 01796 481568. The Trekking Centre is closed on Saturdays – the ponies’ rest day.

If you wish to ride your own horse on the Estate please keep to the Land Rover tracks and avoid narrow paths and mountains where your horse may cause damage. Some tracks have locked gates with stiles to keep out unauthorised vehicles, so please do contact us for advice before setting out. The Estate is currently working to reduce the number of these locked gates. Alternatively, check our cycle routes leaflet as this shows the positions of the locked gates.
