Beautiful

Such a wonderful experience for 4 horse loving girls these school holidays. The horses are all lovely and clam. The guides are so nice and welcoming. We saw lambs and calves. The view of the lake from the top is breathtaking. We got a lovely warm clear day. It was beautiful. Thank you so much team you made our holidays

Not recommended for newbies

I nearly fell off the horse when going downhills. Very steep. It's an awesome experience if you have had some experience riding a horse. I loved it anyway.

Slow horse riding

It was a fun day out really good weather, and really nice stuff, But when we booked it I didn't realize hit this was very touristy, They train the horses to go very slow to get your one hour in and stop up the top for like 10 minutes just to take photos instead of a bit more horse riding which was a bit of a shame. So if you want a real horse track I would not recommend this place. New to horses and you want some very very slow then this might be the place for you.

Horse review Feedback

It was a good experience thanks. I would have liked a bit more of a small challenge. My horse just followed the one in front and I didn't have to tell it where to go which I would have liked to do or even steer it on a different path to make it a bit more exciting. Staff were great, friendly and experienced and I couldn't fault them. Well done :)
