Horse B&Bs

[dwi]

OH has suggested that we find a B&B where we could take D with us for a weekend away

I certainly don't need to be asked twice! Can anyone recommend somewhere with good long distance hacking within 3 hours drive of Derby?

Yes - Rutland!!

We have the TROT toll ride here (15 miles of off road riding) as well as plenty of bridleways!! Will only take you just over an hour!!

Ooh, now I'd not thought of Rutland but have always found it beautiful if I've been there with work. Can you recommend anywhere to stay?

When were you thinking of going away? Our yard does B&B for horses and you can stay in the pub in the village. Its obviously easier in the summer as there is plenty of grazing and everythings out so there are empty stables if needed.

There are loads of places to stay - give me an idea of what you are looking for and I can PM you - just avoid Brughley week and the week of the Twitchers Fair (both late August/Sept) but I can get better dates for you if you need them.

Sounding nice. Can't believe Daisy might get to meet her spiritual twin! It would be some point in the next 6-8 weeks.

Will put the idea of Rutland to OH.

Just PM if you want more info!!

If you do go to Rutland don't forget your camera !!

I have a friend just outside Machynlleth in mid-Wales who does horse and human B&B. Not sure if it falls into your 3 hour criteria though. There is bags of hacking and beach rides around here especially if you are prepared to box for 20-30 mins. PM if you'd like details.
