Experienced Half-day Hack

This outstanding half-day ride is for fit, experienced riders who ride regularly, and are confident at a fast canter over long distances. The hack covers interesting and varied terrain, including some difficult sections but with little or no roads.

The hack is a marvellous way to explore the estate. You will cover a huge distance taking in some of the best of Rothiemurchus scenery: an ancient right of way, old stalking paths, moorland, river, forest and glen. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking and wonderful to ride through, with lots of fun off-road and challenging terrain.

Our responsive Highland ponies, comfortable saddles and friendly informative guides will ensure you have a very memorable experience.
