You must have Personal Accident Insurance
As all our programmes are for the experienced rider you should be able to mount, dismount, trot, canter and gallop with ease and confidence. It is important for you to be fit to maximise your enjoyment.
Yes, we get lots of our guests coming on their own for our Riding by Sea programme
However, there is a minimum of two persons recommended for the Trail Rides which are all self-led trails. Most of our guests come in their own groups for the trails and do not like to have anyone else join them. It is strongly recommended that you do not do the trails alone.
However, you can put your details on our “Riders Meeting Page” on our web site www.horse-holiday-farm.com and see can you come up with a companion to ride the trails with.
8. What you need to bring with you.
For your comfort you will need a riding helmet, riding boots, breeches, gloves, a warm sweater and good quality raincoat (preferably waxed) ,ponchos are not suitable rainwear for riders, which we sincerely hope you will not need but better to be prepared.
Our saddles are general purpose saddles made especially to suit our business – they are extremely comfortable and are built on the old military style tree by a firm in France, now in Ireland by O’Callaghan Saddlery.
