Short Break
Day 1
Arrive at the farm late afternoon in time to settle before dinner at 7pm. Settle into your surroundings and let the banter start flowing. Share your own horse history and set your wish list for the trip.
Day 2
No messing about, let’s head straight for the coast. Feel the wind in your hair and the salty, sandy air in your face as hooves thunder down the beach. There is nothing quite like the feeling of freedom and pure joy as horse and rider gun down the sand without a worry in the world. We will even take the horses for a swim if the weather and tides allow. This day epitomises the “Thunder of Hooves; The Pound of your Heart”.
Day 3
Time to channel your inner warrior. Nothing can prepare you for the thrill and satisfaction of shooting arrows from a running horse. It connects you to our warrior past in a way that is both feral and exhilarating. Spend the morning practicing ground archery, before putting this together on your trusted steed after a farmhouse lunch and a quick makeover!
Day 4
The last day of this short and sweet adventure brings everything together in a grand finale, our ‘leap of faith’ jumping day. Start the morning in the arena with show jumps to hone your skills and confidence before the thrill of an afternoon around our brand-new cross-country course – heart pounding, hooves thundering, empowering the will of your new herd of two.
