Instructional days are an ideal opportunity to learn a new skill or get a refresher on an old one. The day can be tailored to the individual requirements, some of the typical ones we offer are as follows:
£60 for the day (typical times 9-5pm)
All tuition is included in the above price, and meals can be provided at extra cost. Alternatively, located 50yards across the road from Drakes Farm is the Wyndham Arms pub which provides a range of hot & cold meals. For further information or special requirements please contact Chris Matravers to discuss details.
Drakes Farm Riding Centre is situated on the edge of the Somerset levels which allows access to a network of quiet country lanes (99% road work). All hacks are accompanied by an experienced rider as guide. All horses used for hacking have good road manners. However riding out on the public roads is a risk activity, other road users cannot be accounted for.
£18 per hour (or multiples depending on length of ride requested)
**Unfortunately we do not offer horses for hire, all hacks are accompanied as specified above.
