The word Hacking was derived from the term Hawking.
Nobles would enjoy riding out with a hawk perched on their arm to hunt small game.
Nowadays everyone can enjoy riding out in the countryside, escaping the pressures of life and being with nature.

Paddock Hacks

Paddock Hacks suit the complete beginner as a first time riding experience. Starting on a quiet horse in the sand paddock riders are taught the basics of how to stop, start, and steer their mounts before riding out in the park for half an hour while accompanied by a competent leader.
Paddock Hacks are safe and fun and also make a great activity for a birthday party or a special occasion!

Walk/Trot Hacks

Suitable for the more confident rider as a logical progression from paddock hacks.
Including mounting, these rides are an hour long and involve a peaceful walk and trot around the park taking in the scenery at a leisurely pace.
All hacks are accompanied by a mounted escort.

Canter Hacks

For the more adventurous! Another opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the park but at a slightly faster pace!
Riders should be competent and secure in the canter and capable of going that little bit faster as there is a world of difference between a slow canter hack and a canter hack.
Cautious riders should ask for a slow canter hack as experienced riders will be expected to be competent on a more spirited grade of horse under most circumstances.
Rides are accompanied by a mounted escort who will at all times govern the ride in the interests of safety to the standard of the least competent rider or to accommodate the most difficult horse.
