📋 Session Details & Supervision

⏱ The experience lasts around 30–40 minutes from mounting to dismounting. Please arrive 10 minutes early for safety equipment fitting.
🦺 All riders will be led at walk by our staff for the full duration of the ride.
👟 One able-bodied adult must accompany each rider on foot. Please wear sensible, closed-toe footwear (no flip-flops, Crocs, sandals, or canvas shoes).
👀 A reasonable number of accompanying adults are welcome, but no dogs or extra children may walk alongside for safety reasons.

☀️ This is a weather-dependent activity, and the route may be adjusted on the day if needed.

🚫 We only allow riders onto the yard. Parents must be confident their child will be happy to participate independently.

⚠️ Important Information

This is a lead-rein experience only. We do not offer independent hacks or trekking-style rides for adults or one-off holiday bookings.

🐴 Hacking is only available to regular, assessed riders who have built a relationship with our horses through ongoing lessons.
