In the New Year we will be starting our ‘Get Riding’ sessions! Perfect for those who have been out of riding for a wee while or for those who have always thought about trying horse riding.
At Hayfield we pride ourselves on having a supportive and encouraging community that we would love to invite you to join! In these sessions you will get to meet our horses and ponies, have the time to give them a groom and bond with them before having a coffee and a piece of cake. This will give you time to meet your fellow riders before having a go at riding and getting back in the saddle!

Sessions are:
January 13th, 20th, 27th from 6.30-8pm.
January 18th 1.30-3pm

Bookings are done at: hayfield-ec.ecpro.co.uk
