COAST TO COAST - NORTH ROUTE
Your riding ability
On our long distance rides we will be travelling many miles a day in the saddle, riding up and down hills and over rough terrain so you must be capable of riding in a balanced manner for your horses sake! Our horses health and happiness is always a priority to us and because of the long days in the saddle, we require all riders to be competent in riding with a light seat (i.e posting the trot and light seat in canter) to minimise stress on the horses back. We will be crossing rivers, galloping along beaches and may need to jump small natural obstacles, like ditches or fallen trees - nothing too big, but you need to be a capable rider and able to control a horse at speed. It is also important that you are practised in leading a horse over difficult terrain as there may be times when this is necessary. We require all our riders to be at a walk/trot/canter level.

We loved riding to Torridon so much on our Wild West Highlands route that we decided to create a whole ride dedicated to exploring these amazing trails.
This is one of the most dramatic landscapes in the UK, boasting some of the oldest rock formations in Europe (and the world.) The remote and geological grandeur of this incredibly unique landscape makes for an amazing expedition. Join us as we ride in the shadow of iconic mountains and follow incredible, tumbling rivers. This area is steeped not only in history, folklore but also has a rich variety of wildlife and terrain.
​
We base ourselves at The Torridon Inn and set out each day for an adventure like no other. We will explore all the hidden gems that The Torridon area has to offer. This is a ride for those who love remote, rocky landscapes and are looking for adventure. We will climb hills, ford rivers and head off the beaten track. Each night we will come back to the beauty and comfort of The Torridon Inn, a beautiful hotel on the shores of the sea loch. After the riding, feel free to leap in the crystal blue waters of the sea or wander through the beautiful en-site walled garden.
Price: 1885GBP

Price based on sharing a twin or double room - single rooms may be available (but cannot be guaranteed) at an extra cost. Single supplement is £360. If you are travelling alone and willing to share a room, you do not need to pay a single supplement as we often have other riders doing the same who are happy to keep costs down by sharing with another lone traveller of the same sex and wherever possible we try to match sharers by age etc too. Payment can be made by cheque, bank transfer or credit/debit card via PayPal below. Please contact us if you require our bank details for transfer.
Please email or phone us to check availability on the ride before paying deposits.
