Day One
Arrive today and settle into your chosen accommodation. You will either be staying in the self catering cottage on site, or the luxurious B&B 5 minutes drive from the stables.
Once you have settled your horse you might want to start by making the most of the direct hacking out onto the beautiful Somerset levels. From the farm you can ride from 1 – 3hrs over the moors. During your ride you will be able to take in the stunning views, such as The Mendip Hills, The Somerset Levels and Wetlands, North Petherton, The Vale of Taunton Deane, Wellington Monument, Glastonbury town, Wells, Street, Glastonbury tour and much much more.
This evening you can take the short stroll to the local pub where you will find an array of local ales and traditional pub food.
Day Two
Today we suggest that you make the most of the exceptional off road hacking and head out for a full day ride from the farm. Hacking in the local area is very good. Minimal road work is required with excellent access to quiet tracks and bridleways spanning across almost 100 square kilometres of the levels. Your host will provide you with recommended routes if required. Alternatively if you want to make the most of the fabulous location you could truck your horses over to the Quantock Hills.
Day Three
Today is your final day and you might want to make use of the all weather arena. The ménage has a top of the range surface with a set of show jumps available if required.
Non riders could get involved with the day trips to the Dorset Jurassic Coast and Exmoor National Park or take advantage of the spa treatments the B&B has to offer.
The price includes a full continental or farmhouse breakfast with free range eggs for those staying in the B&B.
