We offer quiet hacks around our beautiful Pennine countryside, and if the weather permits, maybe a ride over the moors. We do not accept beginners who wish to hack out without a course of lessons first. Your safety is our concern, so any rider who is unknown to us will be asked to demonstrate riding competence before leaving the yard. Hacks are availiable for the duration of one or two hours.

It is with regret that we can only offer hacking to regular riders at the centre.

Here are just some of the Hacks that we offer:

• Gaddings Dam
• The Village

Gaddings Dam

Distance: 5 miles

Time: 1 - 2 hours

Suitable for: Competent, confident riders

A hack over open moorland, taking the sheep tracks and old trails towards Gaddings Dam. Gaddings Dam is a disused reservoir with a small sandy beach area and there is the opportunity to take horses into the water.

The Village

Distance: 3 miles

Time: 1 hours

Suitable for: All (a quiet ride)

Hacking around the picturesque village of Lumbutts and Mankin Holes. Consists mainly of quiet B roads, but there is an opportunity to canter on some grassy tracks (optional).
