Experienced Hack
 
This hack is a memorable experience lasting around 1½ hours. It is suitable for over 12’s and adults who are fully competent in handling ponies at fast canter in open spaces with other riders.

We offer a variety of challenging routes that can involve a combination of moorland, pinewoods, farmland, rivers and technical upland terrain with little or no roads.. Our ponies are well schooled, fun and responsive, and confident in their natural environment.

There are also brilliant opportunities for photography, to see wildlife and enjoy the freedom and space of Rothiemurchus. We aim to make this an experience to remember!
