Have you ever been on a horse? Would you like to try? Clip-clopping along at a gentle walking pace, this is the finest way to explore the huge estate, breathe in fresh air, relax into the moment and experience life from a new perspective. Even for the complete beginner, there’s no feeling of freedom quite like the adventure of being in the saddle.
Riding lessons
Beautifully bred, well trained and immaculately presented horses are available for all abilities to ride across our 240 acre private estate.There is no end of opportunity to explore the beautiful Berkshire countryside from the unmistakable viewpoint of being on horseback. For those wishing to improve their riding ability further, we offer one-to-one or group lessons in basic riding, dressage and jumping on your own horses or on our selection of well trained schoolmaster horses and ponies.

Horse check-in
Because your horse deserves to be utterly spoiled, bring them along for their own five-star hotel experience. On arrival your horse will have their name waiting on the stable door, as well as special arrival treats from our pastry chef and a welcome pack as a memento of their visit. Their room will be kitted out with rubber matting and wood shavings, with your choice of hay or haylage.
Throughout their stay they’ll be pampered, groomed and tacked up as required. We can also arrange escorted hacks, lessons and equine sports massages on request.
Please note, horses must be insured and vaccinated. Offer available for the duration of your stay, subject to availability.
