Brilliant ride, just walking, but that was perfect as we got to chat to Jenny, and she's a very interesting lady. We had dry weather for the whole of the ride, making us all the more lucky to be out on the moor, on beautiful ponies, enjoying the fresh air xx

We had a great ride out on the Moor. There were a few flies about which bothered the horses a bit. It would have been nice to have had a little trott.

Great and clean riding stable. Very good and serious staff, also thanks to Sam, our guide. A pity that we only could ride a track of 1 (short) hour instead of 2. The galop was great! Horses very nice and well trained.
