Riding can be on of the most enjoyable ways of
seeing our part of Exmoor and the coast. We have a selection of
local riding stables who offer horses and ponies to suit all ages
and experience – from a gentle one hour trek to longer
rides for the more experienced rider. In high season, you may
well have to book your ride a few days in-advance.
If you have never ridden before, try an easy
one-hour trek first. The chances are you will discover muscles
you never knew existed but the experience may tempt you to
improve your riding with further lessons. Like any sport, the
more competent you become, the more you enjoy it.
Once booked, please ensure you honour the booking or, at
least, telephone the evening before to cancel. Otherwise, horses
have been unnecessarily groomed and tacked up ready for you. Wear
sensible clothing and walking shoes or wellington boots. Always
make a note of the time of the ride and arrange to be there a few
minutes early in order to be fitted with a riding hat and matched
with a suitable horse or pony.
