How to book
If you would like to book an activity at Kilnsey Trekking and Riding Centre then you can contact us using the details on our contact us page. Advanced booking is advisable as week get very busy especially at weekends. So please do book ahead to avoid disappointment.
The activites listed below are just a sample of what our riding centre can provide. If you would like a bespoke riding holiday or riding party please contact us to discuss your requirements.
If you are attending our riding stables for a day ride, please come equipped with suitable clothing and footwear. Gloves and waterproof clothing are advisable. BSI standard riding hats can be provided by our centre.
Please note: Treks are for people with little or no riding experience; they are ideal for the beginner and novice rider. Our treks are at a walk and are led at the pace of the least experienced rider in the group. There can be up to eight or ten riders in a trek. If you’ve not been horse riding before or are just finding your way in the saddle, then this is the best choice for you.
Rides are suitable for intermediate riders and advanced riders. Our rides usually consist of smaller groups than a trek. If you can hold your position in a canter, then a ride is the best choice for you.
We can only accept children over the age of four on our trek and rides. Riders over 13 stones (83kg) cannot be accepted without prior arrangement.
Please note: Children must be over 3 years old to ride with us. Children over 3 and under 6 years old must be led on the pony by a parent or suitable adult. Adults leading or walking with a trek should wear suitable footwear.
