Led rides and hacks

On our led rides, riders are led around Woodgate Valley paths in a group. Vehicles are not allowed here, so you can enjoy the beauty of this Country Park from horseback in a safe environment.

Novice led ride

Suitable for those new to the centre or improver riders who can control a horse/pony in walk and trot independently.

Before you go on the hack, you must have a 30 minute assessment lesson so that we can ensure your safety and make sure we have chosen a horse suitable for your ability.

If your standard of riding is acceptable, your hack can be arranged for the same day or at a future date. If not, we will suggest a few brush-up lessons before you go on a hack.

If you ride at the centre regularly and we know your standard of riding, you can book a novice trek without having an assessment lesson first.

The one hour canter hacks are available:

  • Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 10:00am and 3:00pm
  • Friday mornings at 9:45am.

They will also be available during the school holidays.

Advanced canter hack

Suitable for new to the centre/improver riders who can control a horse/pony in walk, trot and canter independently.

It is important that a 30-minute assessment lesson takes place so that we can ensure your safety and have chosen the right horse suitable for your competence.

This is usually done before the 1 hour canter hack, which if the standard of riding is acceptable can be arranged for the same day or at a future date. If not we will suggest a few brush-up lessons prior to attempting this ride.

Regular riders at the centre who we know are at the standard can book a canter trek without the 30-minute assessment.
