The original stable block of Glen Tanar House now houses the Equestrian Centre, offering excellent facilities including a covered arena, outdoor show jumping, cross-country courses, and spectacular riding along riverside, forest and mountain trails.
One-hour rides take you round the Trout Loch, into the ancient Wood of Caledon, along the banks and through the Water of Tanar.
Two-hour rides pass through the river and woods, climbing up into the hills to enjoy panoramic views of the glen and surrounding mountains.
Half- and full-day rides lead high into the mountains, where you can enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch or the hospitality of a local pub – easily arranged upon request.
Professional tuition is available, either in small groups or individually, on well-schooled horses and ponies.
Experienced and friendly instructors ensure a memorable ride for all ages and abilities – from first-time riders to the very experienced. Riding hats and boots are provided.
A perfect introduction for young riders, our Children’s Pony Days combine learning, fun and hands-on experience.
Sessions are tailored to suit all ages and experience levels, from complete beginners to confident young riders.
Professional tuition, gentle ponies and a supportive environment ensure a truly enjoyable day. Riding hats and boots are provided.
