Overview
A lovely rural setting for a great horse riding weekend with a variety of different standards of horses to suit complete beginners to the more advanced riders amongst us. We are staying at the fabulous Springhill Farm in Shropshire in fabulous riding country where they have around 70 horses and ponies so something to suit every level.
We stay in their onsite bunkhouse accommodation which is pleasant and airy.
Includes
2 nights accommodation, 1 cooked breakfast, 1 continental breakfast, Friday night buffet, Saturday night meal and horse-riding as outlined in the write up
Location & Itinerary
Included in the weekend is a buffet meal on Friday evening, a cooked breakfast, packed lunch and evening meal on Saturday and a continental breakfast & packed lunch on Sunday.
This is a self catering venue so help with food preparation and of course cleaning up afterwards is all part of the weekend - please be prepared to muck in even if you aren't prepared to muck out!
There are two options for the weekend both of which are great fun and offer great value for money.
Standard Option:
Included in the price of the weekend is a quick assessment ride on the Saturday morning where your ability will be assessed to make sure that the Horse/Pony you have been given is suitable for you for the weekend. On Saturday afternoon we will be split in to groups and will go out in the beautiful countryside for a 1 1/2 hour + hack (ride out to those not familiar with the horsey lingo!). On the Sunday morning we use our final session to go out in to the stunning countryside once more for another hack.
Day Ride Option:
Saturday Included in the price of the weekend is a day ride for experienced riders on the which includes 4 hours or more of riding including galloping/cantering in the beautiful hills & moorland and also incorporating a pub visit (lunch additional) or a picnic stop where we will take our own lunch (provided) - our decision will be made on the morning subject to the weather.
On the Sunday morning we use our final session to go out in to the stunning countryside once more for another hack.
If you haven't ridden on this weekend with us before and we therefore do not know if you can control the horse at a gallop then you may need to pay an additional £10 to the venue for a Friday evening/early Saturday morning assessment ride to ensure you aren't over faced with the riding.
For those who are really keen there is the option to book and pay directly for a further ride on the Friday or Sunday afternoon. However, for those who don't ride very often, we probably wouldn't recommend it.
Travel & Stay
We stay on the farm in their upmarket Bunkhouse with rooms sleeping from 2 to 7. We have taken exclusive use of the accommodation which boasts a slab pathway to enter through double oak doors into a large tiled entrance area with room for outdoor clothes, recycling, drying room, cloakroom with washer and dryer. A large dining area, off which is the modern kitchen, fully equipped. Tea, sugar and loo paper etc . Underfloor heating, separate sitting room with television/DVD.
Sleeping up to 20 people in 5 different carpeted bedrooms/dormitories, including an en-suite room, plus 4 additional bathrooms. Rooming is allocated on a first come first served basis with rooming requests taken in to account wherever possible.
Facilities available include patio, lawn area, BBQ, outdoor chess, table tennis, activities in addition to the on site horse riding, include archery and cycle hire and walking, all to help you relax and enjoy yourselves. Within 10 miles there is fishing, ,quad biking, paint balling, golf ,canal boating, steam trains and National Trust properties however with 2 riding sessions on Saturday plus 1 on Sunday morning and as much grooming & mucking out as you want to do you will probably want to stay onsite.
