What our customeres say....
My daughter did pole work, jumping, dressage, a woodland hack and a beach ride, along with stable management and the freedom to cuddle the beautiful horses as much as she wanted to. The beach ride was simply put, living the dream for her. And the hotel - perfect location, gorgeous hosts and amazing sunrises and sunsets from the comfort of our beds.
Day One
If your dream is to enjoy a gentle ride on the beach in the UK then this is the break for you! The accommodation is in our lovely Victorian, Grade II listed B&B / guest house or self catered appartments all of which look out over the promenade and beach. We offer single, twin, double and family rooms all with en-suite or private bathrooms, some with sea views (supplement to pay). This afternoon you will begin your riding holiday. We suggest that you start with a lesson to enable instructors to assess your level and to allocate you with an appropriate horse.
Day Two
After breakfast this morning you will head back to the stables. You will be riding twice today, you can choose from additional tuition, beach rides or woodland stroll (suitable for beginners). We will talk to you about an appropriate programme for your level of experience, most people choose a mixture. All levels are able to ride on the beach, riders will be divided into ability groups on the beach so that everyone is riding at an appropriate level. The stable is located a short hack away from the beach and you will ride through town to get to the beach.
Day Three
This morning after breakfast, you will be preparing for your final horseback adventure. Today we suggest heading to the beach once more.
For those who have a child over 7 years interested in riding we can arrange an 'own a pony morning'. This will include a riding lesson, hack and stable management (grooming, tacking up and may be lunging for those who are more experienced). These can be arranged any day of the week and run from 9am - 12pm, all you need is to drop your little one off.
