Hacks and treks for riders of all abilities!

All hacks and treks are lead by qualified intructors. Prior to hacking/trekking out, we warm up the horses in the arena for 15 minutes. In this time we assess if the rider’s skills and abilities are sufficient for the planned ride. For novice riders our staff will groom and saddle the horses. Advanced riders can help groom and saddle the horses. 

We offer two types of hack/trek:

1. Hack for intermediate / semi-advanced riders
This hack is suitable for intermediate riders. Walking and trotting through the woods, while exploring nature. If that sounds good to you, why not book?

This activity lasts 1.5 hours, including half an hour of getting to know the horse and riding in the arena. This is followed by 1 hour of riding through the woods. When the experience of all riders allows it, a gallop is ridden.

2. Hack for advanced riders
This hack is ideal for advanced riders enjoying challenging rides. Walking, trotting and cantering you will explore the beautiful surrounding woodlands.
