Choosing a Trail Ride

A guided trail ride is a relaxed way for a group to see the countryside together, with an experienced guide setting the pace and horses matched to each rider. Rides suit mixed groups because most operators cater for complete beginners as well as confident riders.

  • Rides are usually guided and run for a set time, from a short trail to a longer half-day ride
  • Operators match horses to each rider's experience, so let them know who has ridden before
  • Helmets are normally provided, and closed shoes and long pants are usually required
  • Weight and minimum-age limits commonly apply for the horses' welfare
  • Some rides finish with a drink or a picnic, which makes them easy to build a celebration around

Planning a Group Ride

  • Book a time of day that suits the season – mornings and late afternoons are cooler in summer
  • Ask how long the ride is and how much of it is walking versus faster sections
  • Check whether photos, drinks or a picnic can be added for a celebration
  • Allow time for the safety briefing and fitting helmets before the ride starts

Common Questions About Group Trail Rides

Do we need riding experience?

Usually not. Most trail rides are guided and cater for beginners, with horses matched to each rider. Tell the operator who has ridden before so they can plan the group.

What should we wear?

Long pants and closed, flat shoes are the usual requirement, and helmets are typically provided. The operator will confirm any other rules.

Are there weight or age limits?

Most operators set them for safety and the horses' welfare. Check the limits for everyone in the group before booking.

Can a large group ride together?

Many operators split bigger groups into rides of a manageable size, sometimes back to back. Mention your numbers when you enquire.

What happens if it rains?

Light rain doesn't always stop a ride, but operators may reschedule in unsafe conditions. Ask about their weather policy when you book.
