5.00Private hour was great! I got to experience flying gate for the first time! The private hour was perfectly tailored to my skill level and felt professional and safe. They really do care about their horses even though they have somewhere around 200 of them :D. Highly recommend!
Wonderful time!!!

5.00Our son and daughter 21 and 22 went on this 2 hour tour. Neither had ridden a horse before. The team were really knowledgeable friendly and encouraging and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Warm drinks are offered on arrival and after the tour. Fill equipment available in the price. Fantastic views.
