Rivers and burns - our theme for 2010
The Scottish Borders is a land of beautiful landscapes, history and enthralling stories. Our guided rides pass through spectacular countryside. This year the theme will explore the history and legends of the Border Rivers which have had such a bearing on the character and culture of the people who live here, now and in the past.
Rides are ridden at a reasonably leisurely pace, but all taking part should be able to control their horse in company and open countryside at a moderate pace. The ride can only proceed at the pace of the least competent rider so please check when you book that the ride is suitable for you and your horse.
Please wear hi-viz gear as, although there is little road work, hi-viz is now recommended to be worn at all times. Suitably able under-16s are welcome, but must be accompanied by an experienced and competent adult.
It may be possible to hire horses for these rides - please contact the ride organiser in the first instance. If a horse and rider is considered by the guide not to be fit for the ride they will be asked to leave.
