The Stables

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.

Riding Out

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.

Tuition

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.
