Achavandra stables is a family run riding centre located in the beautiful and scenic area of Dornoch in the Scottish Highlands.

We offer a variety of different horse experiences to suit all abilities and ages.

We have a wide selection of different trail rides to choose from including woodland riding, hill rides, and award winning beaches, with fantastic views to be seen around every corner. We also offer riding lessons for those wanting to to learn how to ride, to help sharpen skills, to improve fitness or gain knowledge on horses.

Our treks range from 30 minute children’s lead rein rides through the forests, to full days out in the countryside for the more advanced riders.

We also offer holidays where clients can ride daily and stay in our bed and breakfast “woodlands” situated in the beautiful and historic town of Dornoch.
