A wonderful experience for my family on a very enjoyable trek. Katie and her daughter are true professionals and accompanied us on foot throughout the trek making it feel safe for all of us, taking into account that none of us had a recent horse riding exercise. Horses were selected for riders’ weights and heights with details collected at the time of booking. We’ll be booking a 2 hour trek next time as it includes riding on a beach.

“Unforgettable Horse Trekking Experience at Achavandra Stables! Our family of six — including three children, two adults, and a senior — had the most incredible time at Achavandra Stables during our recent trip to Scotland. We did a two-hour horse trek through peaceful forest trails and along a stunning, picturesque beach. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and made for memories we’ll cherish forever.”

“I can’t recommend Achavandra Horse Riding enough! My daughter goes regularly for hacking, lessons and Saddle club, and Katie, Paige and the rest of the team make the experience very special and fun. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, and are clearly devoted to their lovely horses and ponies. And to top things off, the setting is fabulous, with access to a long sandy beach nearby”
