Horse Riding
Horse riding is a wide and varied sport once you have established the basics.
So we thought it made sense to show you about three different areas of horse riding that can be enjoyed to inspire you to learn; cross country, show jumping and dressage. All three are featuring at this month’s Burghley Horse Trials between 5th-8th September.

Burghley Horse Trials takes place at Burghley House in Stamford, Lincolnshire, over 4 days. There’s so much to see and do aside from watching some incredible horses and talented, skilful riders in action. The full timetable can be accessed below but it includes a gun dog display, Shetland Pony Grand National, face painting, Pony Club Team Jumping Competition and a Driven Donkey Display!

How do you try horse riding yourself? There’s a great website called Hoof Ride www.hoofride.co.uk that you should visit. On the site there’s a search box and you can type in where you live and they will bring up riding centres near you. Then just give them a call and book a session.
