Trail Riding Holidays

ponies with view over badcaul bay sea and islandsIf you dream of galloping along a deserted beach, we offer trail riding holidays that allow you to ride the beautiful, unspoilt beaches on the East, West and North coasts where seals cruise in the shallows curiously watching us watching them! If you long to ride through the heather, crossing rivers and climbing high into the mountains, we offer horse riding through remote glens and over high hills with breathtaking view in all directions, where herds of red deer graze peacefully as we pass and where a break for lunch might include the chance for you to swim with your horse in a cool tranquil loch.

Come with us on a Coast to Coast ride across Scotland, or try our Three Coast Trail, where you can experience the wonderful beaches on three different coasts. Try our short break centre based "petal rides" or set yourself a real challenge and join us on our Longest Ride – a 250 mile (402k) journey through some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. We offer a wide selection of trail riding holiday options ranging from all inclusive packages of two days to over two weeks.  New rides for 2012 include the Bonnie Prince Charlie Trail, following routes associated with the Jacobite uprising of 1745, the Great Glen a short break following the Great Glen fault across Scotland, the Wild West ride, a ride through some of the wildest scenery in Scotland including Glen Affric and Torridon, and the Across Ross Ride, from Torridon on the West coast to the beaches of the East. By special request, we also offer an Outlander ride, visiting places associated with this popular series of books by Diana Gabaldon!
