- Happy to collect you from Baldock Station; back at our cottage we can provide boots/jackets. Over a welcoming drink and a snack (arrive hungry please!) you can tell us your riding experience; we pay serious attention to your expectations as we aim to provide each rider with the ideal equine partner for your day with us. Having signed a disclaimer and had a hat fitted you’ll meet your horse and be shown how to feed carrots, nominally groom and do ground work using voice commands. We normally divide the riding (bridleways or country lanes) into two sessions of 45/50m each divided by home made lunch or supper with wine but we might keep you up for 90/100min and eat afterwards ; depending on weather and your fitness. We can go as slowly as you like, you won’t be pushed out of your comfort zone! Forgive us in advance for putting the horses’ happiness a very close second to your safety :-) but the experience of viewing the world through the ears of a happy horse could start you on an amazing equine adventure. If you weigh above 80kg/have children below 12 please get in touch before booking. We hope you'll enjoy this form of riding which focuses on voice commands (no kicking or pulling) thus insuring your horse enjoys it as much as you do ;-). We also offer an introduction to Mindful Riding for intermediate riders who are with first-timers and want to progress at a deeper level.From Price:$132 / person
