FAQs

• How long does a day pass allow riders to stay?
  Day passes are for the whole day so you are able to ride the course more than once. We have a good grass area for tethering your horse or pony if you wish to wait around. In the summer, visitors often bring a picnic to enjoy in the surroundings.
• How long is the course?
  There are two courses, the Cross Country Route which is a circular 6.5 miles and the Extended Hacking routes cover over 20 miles in total.
• How difficult are the jumps?
  Obstacles vary around the course from very small simple logs to solid 1m uprights. All are very friendly and in most cases 5m wide, however, obstacles are all optional and if you do not want to jump, simply hack past.
• Are walkers/cyclists allowed on the course?
  Unfortunately, walkers are not allowed on the Rideways course for Health & Safety reasons.  However, we do allow ONE cyclist to accompany a lone rider – booking through the normal day rider form.
• What if I have an emergency or get lost during my ride?
