Travels on horseback

Weekend cowboy
Learn to ride in a weekend!

We invite you to Weekend Cowboy: learn the basics of horseriding in a fun-filled environment. On a beautiful farm qualified instructors will give you personal tuition. We’ll be in a secure, modern arena and by the end of the weekend you’ll be riding out through the woods. Spend the evenings kicking back by the bonfire, relaxing in luxury accommodation, and eating fantastic local food.

‘There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.’ Winston Churchill

What you need
You don’t need to have any experience with horses at all, we only ask that you have enthusiasm and an energetic spirit. Along with this, it will be best if you bring:
• Comfortable boots with a small heel, and preferably without laces; you can pick up a pair of short ‘jockey’ boots in online stores like Robinsons for less than £40
• Jodhpurs, or trousers with lycra (and preferably without an inside seam)
• Comfortable, supportive under-garments
• A riding hat, or let us know your head size beforehand

The price for the weekend is £500 per person, which includes:
• Transfers to and from local train stations or Bristol airport
• All tuition, equipment hire and horses
• Hotel accommodation including breakfast
• Lunch on the farm

Not included: drinks, evening meals and holiday insurance
