- *Riding times will vary due to the level of experience of the riders, with a big group we usually only walk as most of the guests have never been on a horse or are very inexperienced. We cater for experienced riders too but prefer to take them in a separate group so as not to unsettle the nervous riders

- *All levels of experience are welcome, complete novice (never been on a horse before) to experienced riders
- *The wine farms close at 5pm so if the clients want a picnic or wine tasting we must plan accordingly

- *Indemnity forms must be signed before commencing the ride
