Trail Riding Holidays in the Highlands
Would you like to spend your vacation riding a horse from coast to coast across Scotland? We offer the only true coast to coast horseback trail ride in the UK! Not only that, but we have four different ways to do it - the week long coast to coast north, the ten day three coast trail taking in the East, North and West coast, with beach rides on all three, the 6 day coast to coast south and the longest ride of all - a 250 mile plus ride from the East to the beautiful beaches of the North coast, through the stunning scenery of the wild West coast, riding out on a huge and snaking loop, that brings us back eventually to the wide sandy beaches of the East. 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!

April Fools Rides/Easter
East Sutherland Petal Rides
We offer Two or three day breaks in picturesque East Sutherland, where we ride out each day for a full days picnic ride, and return to the same accomodation each night.
The petal rides are different each day. One day we might climb high up into the hills, enjoying stunning views spanning several counties - on a clear day we can see the Grampian mountains across the Moray Firth and several of the iconic Highland peaks far to the North and West. Another day we might travel to remote tranquil lochs, and of course, we will always fit in a good beach ride wherever possible! Situated as we are next to the beach in Brora, we are lucky enough to have beautiful sandy beaches stretching away to the North and South.
Daily Picnic Rides
For those in the area on holiday already, we offer full day picnic rides daily.
The routes are the same as the petal rides - hills, lochs and beaches, although they vary each day, so it is worth checking if you want to do a specific trail.
You need to bring your own picnic on these, as we only provide picnics where accomodation is booked by us.
We can cater for novice riders on certain days of the week - please phone for availability. Booking essential!
Evening Barbeque Rides
We also offer barbeque rides subject to weather conditions most weeks. Booking is essential. We can generally cater for most levels of rider on certain days of the week - please phone for availability. We either ride to beach or lochside locations, where we will set up the barbeque.
Camping Trips
We can offer horseback camping trips from 1 - 3 days or longer by special arrangement.
These rides are tailored to ability and requirements, so please phone for more information.
Winter Breaks
Looking for something to brighten those long winter days - why not join us on a winter break. We have a Horsey Hogmanay, great working holidays and Short breaks available. See our winter breaks page for details.
