Riding Levels
We recommend you are a competent rider to come on this weekend. You should be able to canter on your own and have had experience hacking horses out. The horses are well mannered and schooled but you must be able to control them. Please discuss your riding ability with us if you are unsure.
Holiday Insurance
You MUST have holiday insurance to come on this holiday. We recommend using Endsleigh Insurance, who cover most of our clients. We may ask you for proof of your insurance to ensure your safety. Please bring the documentation with you.
Weather
The weather in spring / autumn can range from 18-35′c during the day. However, we are in the mountains so we recommend warm and wet weather clothing for on and off the hill. Please ensure you have a waterproof jacket you can carry in your rucksack in case the weather changes whilst you are out.
What to Bring / More Information
For this retreat you will need riding boots (non-grip boots), riding trousers without seasm (jeans can be incredibly painful after 2 days in the saddle), a small rucksack to carry your pack lunch and your riding hat if you own one.
Please download our Retreat Information Sheet for more information on what to bring, weather etc.
