Horse Riding - Lauder - (Advanced)

AWAY WITH THE GIRLS 21+

Join Away With Adventures, Away With The Girls Group on a private fast paced ride onto the Lauder Common. We will be riding over some of the common ride trails, across fields and up hills to gain some great views. Please note the common ride is not actually on, we are going on some of the route that it would take. Optional post ride social in a nearby cafe.

📍 Location: Lauder 

⏱ Duration: Around 2 to 3 hours of riding (depending on the pace of the group)

🌲 The Terrain: Mix of roads, hilly and open landscape with a combination of rough moorland and grassy tracks

• Pace: Fast & Dynamic (Walk, Trot and fast paced Canter which could possibly lead into Gallop - the horses can be a bit more forward going out in the open)

⚠️ Rider Requirements

Prerequisites: Must be fully confident controlling and riding a horse in open spaces at all paces on an english saddle (Walk, Trot, Canter, and Gallop). You must have recent previous experience hacking outside of an arena at these paces. Secure, balanced seat and quick reactions to sudden horse movements (spooks, surges). Good fitness level suitable for fast-paced riding. This will not suit someone who has not ridden in years or who doesn't have experience in 2 point.

🐴 What is Provided & Kit Requirements

• The Horses: You will be paired with a fit and forward horse, most of which are quite tall. They have a personality and are a mix of Draft Horses, Irish Cobs, Irish Sport Horses and Connemaras.
• Safety Gear: You must bring your own safety approved riding hat and riding boots. Body protectors are recommended.
