Dare we say it, is ‘back to normal’ on the horizon?
We started the year with the purchase of a new horse, Roxi, and hope in the air. Brace yourselves, it was set to be a busy year. Not only were we still catching up on all the guests that had rolled over their bookings with us from 2020 and 2021 but there were a whole load of new people desperate to get out on adventures after their own 2 years of lockdown and adventure deprivation.
As we write this post we are just finishing up the 2022 season and its been insanely busy. We hit the ground running with adventures at home in the Mull of Kintyre in April. We also finally managed to make good use of our arena and run our first-ever horsemanship clinic with Vladimir Muskaterski. It was a great success and was lovely to see guests on their own horses and our herd be able to enjoy this very first ever ‘Be with Me’ horsemanship clinic in the UK.
We also ran our first pilot for therapy and well-being holidays this year and we can not wait to run more of these. An amazing experience for guests and horses alike. We collaborated with a mindfulness and life coach from the USA and psychologist and therapist from Holland to offer these very fulfilling holidays. I think we could all do with prioritising a bit of personal focus. To remember to start each day, checking in with ourselves and making time and space to breathe and just be.
At the end of April, we finally set sail to Knoydart. It felt so good to be back in this wilderness. It was also amazing to see our International guests return, how we’ve missed your wild enthusiasm for Scotland. May & June went by in a blur and before we knew it we were home again just in time to shear the sheep before it all kicked off here.
July to October we ran back to back holidays and we are definitely ready to take a break, but not before we complete this years big project – our brand new Cross Country Course! Better late than never but we can’t wait to show this off to you all next year. Lots of horseback archery and horsemanship have been enjoyed by all, in addition to our epic trail rides across the wilds of Kintyre. We swear the beaches have never looked so beautiful and the salty coastal air has never felt so fresh.
November sees us back at the Horsemanship Showcase to further develop our own skills and top up our new ideas bank. We look forward to welcoming Sean Coleman to Scotland in April for our next Horsemanship clinic, so check out our Clinics page for more details.
After the season to end all seasons, horses and humans are in dire need of a rest. Therefore Wilder Ways will be closing from the end of October to the end of February this year. As we look forward to 2023 we plan to do things slightly differently. We will be staying at home to run all our adventures from the Mull of Kintyre in the coming year so we can recoup after COVID and also to make great use of all our new facilities, including the arena, horseback archery equipment, show jumps and our brand new cross country course. In 2023 we will focus on our adventure holidays and therefore regrettably we will no longer be offering individual half-day and full-day rides. We will however continue to offer learning opportunities and lessons for our locals.
Thanks again for the overwhelming support this year – as ever we couldn’t do all this without your amazing appetite for adventures.
