Trail Rides in the Lake District
Our trail rides in the Lake District are a fantastic escape for more experienced riders.
On day one you will need to arrive at the stables for 10am,where we will introduce you to your horse and trek leader for the day, probably me.
There are several full day circular routes to choose from, with lunch stops at either a local farm house, or lovely picnic spots en route.The riding is varied with spectacular scenery; We follow bridleways and tracks, linked by the quiet country lanes around Selside, Whinfell, Patton & Skelsmere parishes.
Some of the day rides go across open fell land and down into Longsleddle Valley.All of the routes offer breath taking views and plenty of opportunities for a good canter or gallop, through open fields and on grassy tracks.
Trail Rides have a strict weight limit of 14 stone (89 kg).
The duration of rides is approx. 5hrs. per day max.
extra night B&B available from £30.00 per person.
All fell routes are mapped with the local Mountain Rescue team and we carry first aid and mobile phones.
Price is £225.00 all-inclusive per person.

After a day in the saddle, it's off to Mill Raise for coffee and cake.
You may be ready for a hot soak in the huge bath, or maybe a stroll by the river at the bottom of the garden.
Dinner is served at approx. 7pm,where the day's events can be mulled over a glass of wine or three!
Accommodation for the overnight stay is at Mill Raise.You will need basic toiletries, a change of clothes for the evening and spare riding clothes, etc. Don't forget alcohol for the evening if you enjoy more than a glass of wine.
On day two we choose a completely different route and lunch venue.We arrive back at the stables late afternoon for a drink before you return home
Riders must be competent at trot and canter. Footwear with some grip is recommended for walking down the side of the fell. Trail Rides are available from May until December only.
