T&C Policies & Guidance

The Adventure

Whether you are here for a 1-hour lesson or a full week riding holiday, we want you to gain the most out of this experience.  It is not just about sitting on a horse; it is about connecting with the horse and the environment you are in.  Whilst you are part of a group, this is YOUR adventure.  Our team are on hand to tell you about your surroundings and offer individual guidance and training as required.  We encourage you to get involved with caring for your horse during your adventure. This is an important part of the experience and a great way to bond with your horse. We will support you to do this at all times.
 
Your safety and enjoyment are our number one priority.  To get the most out of your adventure, input and preparation are also required from you.  In particular: - 

• Please ensure you are fit and able to participate safely in the activity you have signed up for. 
• Please dress for the weather and ensure you have appropriate layers, waterproof clothing and sun protection. Full length trousers are mandatory.
• You will only be allowed to ride if wearing appropriate footwear (i.e. with solid sole and small heel) which we are not able to provide.   Flat soles, trainers or open toed footwear are not permitted.
• If you wish to wear your own riding helmet it must be to a current safety standard (see PDF for details), this will be checked before you ride.  Alternatively, we have a large selection of helmets available to you. 
• If you are to participate in cross country jumping as part of your booking, please note that we advise that you wear an in standard back protector.  Wilder Ways do not provide these.  If you choose to jump without a back protector, you do so at your own risk.

​
Please see the Kit List section below for full details

• Appropriate personal protection equipment

​
Please note all other riding requirements still apply (i.e. you must provide and wear suitable footwear and clothing and a riding helmet is mandatory).

Group size

Our maximum group size is deliberately small, just six riders, which makes our rides personable and low impact on the environment. We can cater for larger groups by running subsequent rides over the course of a day/weekend to provide a bespoke itinerary for clubs or social gatherings (i.e. University Clubs, Corporate Event or Birthday/Hen Party) so please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Distance

The distance travelled each day varies greatly depending on the specific ride but will be in the region of 5-15km per day.  Again, this is deliberately quite small as we pride ourselves in quality of riding and experience above sheer quantity of miles.   Whether you are on an action-packed obstacle filled ride or a point-to-point journey, you will enjoy lots of time in the saddle. A full day is 5-6 hours and a half day is about 2½-3 hours depending on speed of travel and ground conditions on the day

Variation

While all reasonable care has been taken to give a detailed and accurate account of your adventure, routes may be subject to change if weather, ground conditions, rider ability or incidents dictate. Your precise accommodation depends on availability and will be confirmed after receipt of your deposit.

The Rider

 

Please note all riders must wear a riding helmet.  If you want to use your own helmet it must be compliant with the BHS Approved Centre – Hat Guidelines (see PDF for details.)

Age

The following age restrictions apply.

• Riders must be 18 years old or over to participate in riding holidays unaccompanied.
• Riders 12-18 years old are welcome on riding holidays accompanied by a parent/guardian.
• Riders 8-12 years old are not permitted on riding holidays (unless by special agreement prior to booking – please contact adventures@wilderways.scot to discuss).
• Riders 6 - 17 years old can participate in riding lessons unaccompanied by a parent/guardian.
• Riders under 6 will only be allowed on a lead rope.
  

​Weight

Our horses are fit and in good health, but they work hard, and we want to ensure their comfort.  In line with Government legislation and our own policy, the following weight restrictions apply.
​

• We do not accept riders over 13 stone (196lbs or 89 kg).  This is fully dressed weight (including boots, waterproofs and helmet).
• ​The weight limit on our Extreme Adventures (short breaks and full weeks) is 13 stone (182 pounds or 82.5kg).

We reserve the right to check your weight and to refuse to allow a person to ride if we suspect they are over the weight limit.  This right is reserved without the need to provide any refund.

Riding Ability

We interpret riding ability on the following general basis:
​
Beginner: means someone who has never ridden before or only a few times.
Novice: Riding experience at walk and trot but not confident at canter.  Must be confident and competent at rising trot.
Intermediate: Confident at walk, trot and canter on a forward horse, on open ground.
​Advanced: Confident at all paces, on a forward horse, advanced rides may include long and/or fast canters and jumps.

Riding Holidays
​Our riding holidays are primarily designed for competent intermediate and advanced riders as there can be some challenging terrain and there will be opportunities to canter. Novice riders are permitted on our Wilderness Journeys holidays, although competence at rising trot is essential.  A reasonable level of fitness is required for all holidays.  Although the rides are not ‘endurance level’ they are physically demanding and designed to be an interesting and stimulating adventure for you and the horse.  We may be able to cater for beginners or novice riders by arrangement, as bespoke trips.  

Lessons and Clinics
​Our lessons, clubs and training opportunities are available for all abilities.   Please contact us to discuss your requirements and to find a group and activity that suits your ability.

Accomodation

We use authentic and comfortable accommodation with options for good quality, locally sourced and ethical food.  For our Glen Kerran holidays, much of this is provided from our own farm and in collaboration with local producers.  
 
Prices are based on two people sharing a room. Single travellers will incur a single person supplement (£25pppn) in the event that either; you are not willing to share (or there is not another single traveller on the trip who is also willing to share. ​

Dietary Requirements

We endeavour to cater for any allergies and other dietary requirements and we ask that you confirm your needs on our Booking Form at the time of booking.  As we operate in rural and remote locations, if you have any last-minute changes to this, we will try and accommodate you but need 48 hours notice to guarantee an adequate alternative.

Health

You must tell us about any medical condition or disability that may affect your riding, or your health during the ride.  This includes any condition or medication that would be relevant if you are hospitalised.  If unsure, please check with your doctor first. We will make every effort to accommodate special requirements so long as we can do this without affecting normal health and safety considerations or other riders' enjoyment of the experience.

Insurance

Travellers should ensure that they have adequate insurance that covers them for the riding activities that they will carry out during their holiday, including injury, death, repatriation, trip cancellation and/or curtailment.  Please see our cancellation policy for details of our terms and obligations.
