It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour
  • Riding Helmet - we strongly recommend that you wear a properly fitted riding helmet of the current standard which is PAS015 or BSEN1384. Helmets are available at the stables if you do not have your own
  • Jodhpurs - jodhpurs, breeches or other comfortable trousers (jeans may rub and can also be quite hot)
  • Riding Boots - it is important to have correct shoes or boots for horse riding. Jodhpur or ankle boots with a rubber sole are recommended but sturdy shoes with a definite heel are acceptable (such as walking boots)
  • Half Chaps - these are great when worn with ankle boots and help prevent the stirrup leathers rubbing against your legs
  • T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts
  • Sunhat
  • Sunglasses
  • Fleece - Although the weather is generally very warm, the evenings can be a bit cooler
  • Warm layers - At times the evening temperature drops significantly
  • Casual Clothes - for when out of the saddle
  • Water Bottle - it's very important to drink a lot of water when it's hot, especially when doing physical activities
  • Raincoat - it is always a wise idea to pack a waterproof/ windproof jacket!
  • Personal Items - toiletries, any medicines you require and please be sure to take insect repellent and plenty of sun cream
  • Camera and Spare Batteries/Charger - an absolute must! It is also a good idea to take a camera case you can strap around your waist or onto a belt for whilst you are riding
  • A copy of your passport
