The 10 mile route will be an extension to the 5 mile route giving riders an opportunity to change the length of their ride if their circumstances change. Please no dogs on the course. Dogs are permitted in the car park but must be kept on leads at all times. Please no bikes on the course. Class1, the lead rein ride may be ridden multiple times for a single entry fee but only one rosette will be awarded.

All riders under 16 years of age wishing to take part in the 5 and 10 mile rides will need to be accompanied by a responsible individual over the age of 16 years. The 5 and 10 mile rides will start with a walk. The start runs alongside the lead rein ride so not only will the walk allow riders to settle in it will also provide a safe environment for the lead rein riders. At the midway point will be a refreshment station for both horse and rider. We will have a fund raising cake and refreshments area at the start/finish.
