Example Full Week Holiday Programme
Here's a sample of the activities our holiday makers enjoy during the full week riding holiday on Raygill Farm.
The holidays are aimed at all levels. You can even bring your own horse as stabling is available. If you don't own a horse you will be designated with your very own from one of Raygill's 60 ponies and horses. See the riding holidays page for more details and prices.
