Ideas for taking a horse on holiday

[WesternHiPo]

We want to take our 2 horses away for a short break from 5 August for 3 or 4 nights. Ideally the Lake District, but could look at North Wales, or other areas within a max of 3 hours drive from Ormskirk, Lancs. Any suggestions- cottages or B&B that have good reviews/personal experience of? Thanks

There is a very good FB group horse B&B and Long Distance Routes which has a wealth of information which might be useful for planning such a trip away.

I’ve heard good things about riding on Cannock Chase. That can’t be too far from you? I saw somewhere on Facebook that was a holiday let with stables and a paddock. The owner also lived onsite and could act as a guide if you wanted her to. I can’t find it now but it might be worth a google.

Don't know if Derbyshire might be a bit far but I can highly recommend Hoe Grange.

The owners are lovely people and have horses themselves. Always happy to ride with you to show you the local trails (and pub rides!).
