Our Rides

We are very fortunate, at Bentley, in that we can ride out of the stables directly into lovely woodland with no roadwork. In these days of increasing traffic this is obviously great for kids and novice riders—in fact, for everybody. Ride outs can be booked anytime, although maybe not in drastic weather!

Like our lessons, all rides are graded according to the ability of the people involved. We have active rides for our regular clients and ‘walk and trot’ rides for the less experienced. In the warm weather holiday makers and families with no experience whatsoever can enjoy riding through the woods escorted by our staff on foot. Something for everyone.

We have 3 options available at various times throughout the week.

Lead Rein Trek (Walkout)

This is where beginner and novice riders can experience the woodland with confidence. They will be assigned a leader to assist them, as well as the Instructor being on foot. Riders are given a lesson whilst in the wood to keep improving balance and skill when riding. Trotting as and when appropriate.

Walk & Trot Hack

This is for off lead rein riders. An instructor will be mounted on a horse to escort you through the woodland at your own pace, walk and trot only. Perfect for either people new to hacking out or those that are quite happy to take a more sedate ride.

Canter Hacks

Those more experienced riders can have more of a thrill with a hack that involves cantering on suitable tracks. Please ensure you have correctly listed your ability on your rider registration form.
