Horse Riding Hen Weekends

Horse Riding Hen Weekend! What better way to explore the countryside of then by riding horse back through its lush, open greenery on your hen weekend.

Horse riding helps to evoke a sense of freedom from the restrictions of everyday life, as you either trot at a casual pace, slide into a canter, or daringly run loose into an invigorating gallop.

If the nearest you've ever been to a horse is seeing one on a television screen, then don't worry as beginners are very welcome. Friendly and experienced instructors will lead you round making sure you feel comfortable and safe at all times. A great way to spend an afternoon of your hen weekend. Horse riding, forever remains a fun and relaxing way to enjoy yourself.

Top Horse Riding Tips
* Always mount on the left side of the horse.
* Hold your reins in your hands. Do not jerk on the reins. This will hurt the horse's mouth.
* Pull your reins in the direction that you want to go, such as left to go left and right to go right.
* Keep only the ball of your foot in the stirrup. Balance your body with pressure in your feet, keeping your heels down and toes up.
* Hold on to your horse for balance.
* Wear long trousers and shoes with a slight heel. Sneakers will be okay, but sandals aren't very good for riding.
* Do not walk behind a horse. They can't see you and could kick.
* Video cameras should not be carried while riding your horse. Take pictures before you leave on the trail.
