Our Ultimate Adventure holiday is designed for experienced riders with a strong appetite for epic adventures. It is not for the faint hearted! NEW for 2026, our Crossing Kintyre holiday takes that spirit even further with a bold expedition across Scotland’s wild west coast, offering our most untamed and thrilling route yet.

For all our holidays, as a minimum you must be confident and competent at rising trot (posting).
We offer the holidays as short breaks and full-week itineraries. Our adventure week holidays are over 7 nights, include 5 days riding and 1 rest day, some of which also include a non-riding adventure. The short breaks are over 3 or 4 nights with 3 days of riding. Additional activities can be added to the Short Breaks if you want to enjoy an extended stay (subject to availability). All our adventure week holidays (Ultimate Adventure & Crossing Kintyre) do require a reasonable level of fitness as you will spend 4-6 hours in the saddle each day.
