Help find riding near Stirling/Callander?

[horserugsnot4u]

Any of you helpful folk on here know of any pony trekking/riding near Callander in Scotland, to entertain my daughters for a few hours while I'm at a wedding in the area, please? Does Drumbrae Riding Centre still exist as all links to their website fail? Thank you

Hi , yes Drumbrae is still running.

 

[horserugsnot4u]

Thank you marydoll, I guess it's just the website doesn't work so I'll try the phone number. Do you know anything about the place?

 

[Marydoll]

Not really, im pretty sure its a BHS certified place though, I do know the hacking round there is meant to be good and off road

 

[Cuffey]

Not sure how far from Stirling you will go, but there is a place at WesterShieldHill called Kingsbarn www.kingsbarnequestrian.co.uk
There used to be Highland Pony Trekking in the Kippen area but not sure if it's still there.

Sorry also meant to suggest http://www.incallander.co.uk/riding.htm they do trekking round the Trossachs Park, again there used to be riding at Loch Tay http://www.lochtayactivities.co.uk/our-activities/on-horseback.htm

Kingsbarn will be at least an hour from stirling if not more, and longer from callander.

Thank you for all your suggestions and advice - I'd dish out the Edinburgh rock if I had any left from my last 'stocking-up' trip. I'm in the process of checking the places out but it seems probably only two close enough to be practical.
