Horse riding
Our BHS approved horse riding centre is very popular and caters for most ages and all abilities. Whether you want regular quality instruction, a peaceful trek or exhilarating trail ride, the Highland Riding Centre, as well as being the home of Riding for the Disabled, also gives visitors the opportunity to use the excellent facilities available and take part in one of many unique rides. Riding Holiday Packages can be arranged to suit your own requirements. Please let us know what you would like to do at the time of booking, and we will arrange a programme to suit.
Borlum runs regular lessons and activities for children and adults. The children’s Horseshoe Club operates every weekend and during holidays - it’s a real chance to learn to ride, and to look after a pony. There’s a lot more to it than meets the eye, but the learning is fun and everyone is very friendly. Games, quizzes, showjumping, dressage, fancy dress - every child is encouraged to take part and there’s something to suit everyone. Certificates are awarded to mark each child’s progress, in both riding and horse care.
And the adults aren’t left out – both daytime and evening lessons are available to suit most work patterns and regular competions are run throughout the year for our regular riders. One, two or three hour rides are available and for the more adventurous (and fit!) we offer full day rides exploring Glenurquhart. We are approved by the ABRS, and the BHS. We have experienced, qualified instructors, who will help you improve and enjoy you riding. The indoor school has a spectator gallery, toilet facilities, and hot drinks are available. There is a large all weather outdoor manege and jumping arena. Every ride is graded as either suitable for novice or experienced riders. All rides for experienced riders provide the opportunity to walk, trot and canter. Our hill rides give magnificent views over Loch Ness and the Great Glen, whereas the Loch and Duck pond rides go through flat, open country, and woodlands. We make every effort to ensure that rides are classed according to ability. However, if a ride has riders of mixed abilities on it, you will be informed when booking and the ride will be restricted to walk and trot. The average number of people on a ride is 4 - 8 people.
A typical daily programme during high season is as follows:
Low season riding is by mutual arrangement. The proprietors reserve the right to change the time of rides if and when necessary. Booking To avoid disappointment it is advisable to book at least three to four days in advance during the summer months. Large groups should plan still further ahead.
