Equine activities
All equine activities take place at Hartwell Riding Stables, which is a wonderful, fully licensed, family run riding school based at two beautiful sites across Buckinghamshire. While there, children will be given professional instruction from the fully trained members of staff and visiting equine experts, including the yard’s vet, in-house equine massage therapist, dental technician and farrier.
