This ride is run in several ways, either as a beginner/novice experience, a mixed abiltity group, or as a fast ride for experienced riders. The ride is through local farmland comprising of fields, tracks and stream crossings, all with the fantastic Whicham valley views. We ask on booking to ensure you do get the type of ride you want!
All our rides are accompanied by a trained member(s) of staff. We always go to great lengths to make sure a rider is suitably matched to thier horse.

This ride is suitable for more experienced riders/groups who are able to walk, trot and canter in full control of their horse!. The ride takes you from our Chappells Farm Base, along the Whicham Valley, and on to the nearby Irish Sea Coastline which offers miles of sand and sea for you to enjoy......An amazing riding experience...!
Riders need to be comfortable with canter and controlling a horse in open spaces. We plan this ride around the daily tides so please ring in advance...

Clothing
|
|
|
|
In general many of our riders have their own equipment, but for those who come unaware that they might like to ride we supply a selection of hats (all to current safety standards) and footwear, as we need clients in shoes or boots with a distinct heel, this prevents their foot from sliding down into the stirrup and potentially getting stuck....so if you don't have anything suitable, panic not, maybe an extra pair of socks would be a good idea, but we should be able to get you on that enormous horse properly attired! We also have some half chaps to borrow for faster rides.

|
|
Ahh... the weather!!
|
|
|
|
We expect anyone who books to ride....so therefore we supply some clothing for those who come unprepared, some waterproofs, we also sell them in the gallery. A force nine gale would be the exception. Even we are not THAT tough!!!!

What not to wear and weight
|
|
|
|
Shorts, sandals, jewellery which could get caught...ponytails so we cannot get your hat on!! Weight limit We DO have a weight limit. This is a sliding scale according to weight / height / experience level. Please call me to discuss this if you feel any member of your party might be slightly heavier..we're not monsters, just wanting the best for both horse and rider!! We introduced a weight limit firstly for our horses as many folk think of them as weight carriers. Yes, they are big strong horses, but they still only have one back. I have heard a horse of ours groan with a heavy rider, back in the days when we would take really heavy folk (we've had requests for up to 24 stone...); secondly I have watched some very lovely people, who were unfortuately overweight, riding but not able to do well as riding is a sport. Their excess weight makes it very difficult for them to sit well, and they were uncomfortable...Carrying too much excess weight can mean the person concerned is unfit and as we dont want anyone hurt whilst riding with us we introduced the sliding scale. I very much hope that this does not offend anyone, it's the application of commonsense coupled with a true love of our horses..they do this same job day after day, and we want them to continue doing that, happily.
