UK Horse Riding Holidays

Whether you already love horse riding for leisure, you’re a beginner or want to learn to ride, or you’re working towards that all important championship, a UK horse riding holiday will more than fulfil your expectations. There’s a huge choice of packaged holidays to suit everybody, or you can plan your own itinerary and accommodation, get away from it all and explore the beauty and diversity of the British countryside, from the rolling moors of Devon and Cornwall to the wild and rugged scenery of Scotland and Wales - the choice is yours.

 

For a carefree, relaxing UK holiday for the whole family, whatever their level of riding ability, pick a holiday from one of the many specialist UK horse riding holiday providers. With British Horse Society approved equestrian centres and stables available around the country, your holiday may include tuition and guided or self-guided rides, with some centres offering such diverse specialities as dressage, show jumping, pony trekking, carriage driving cross country and even Western riding. If you’re coming to the UK from abroad, your UK horse riding holiday might even include English lessons. Rides are carefully chosen for their suitability to your level of ability and are an ideal way for the less experienced rider to increase their confidence.

 

The British Horse Society runs the Horse Welcome scheme, with approved B&Bs or full accommodation around the country for both riders and horses – you can take your horse with you and take advantage of expert tuition in many disciplines. The wide range of stabling and facilities offer you the opportunity to combine your riding holiday with visits to many top UK attractions. Cumbria and the Lake District offer breath-taking scenery; visit Wales with its fabulous and varied countryside, from gentle pony trekking – with Welsh Mountain ponies – across mid Wales and the coastal regions, to mountain riding in Snowdonia. Or why not choose the South West of England, with its temperate climate, picturesque villages and coastal paths? It’s your chance to have the horse riding holiday of your dreams.
