Hello, I am looking for the opportunity to do an unguided horse trail in the highlands for 4-5 days. I only know locations for it in Wales, Yorkshire, Ireland etc but I really would like to do it in scotland. I‘ve survived 11 surgeries in the last 4 years and a friend of mine raised the idea, if I will come over this, we do this trip. I have 2 own horses in Austria and I do eventing competitions. We do not want to do long distances a day, but to be in this incredible nature with the horses. We would like to find an opportunity to get horses for these trip, have good people around planning it with us (Where to go, where to stay).

An Austrian Horse Magazine asked if we would share the experience, but I only would do this if it’s allowed by the horse owners. There is an idea of dedicating this trip to all of those who don‘t have faith to over come their disease, like I did and try to collect money for a charity project.
We both are very experienced riders, both horse owners and agricultural engineers with being in the fields. We are used to rough terrain, because we live in Austria.
If someone has ideas....please tell me. I would be soooo happy and grateful.

Lovely wishes,
Vera

If you are on Facebook then look up Ruaridh Ormiston. He would be the one to know of such things up that way.

Thank you, I got this tip by another member! But his friendship button is deactivated. Are you friends with him? I‘ve sent him a message, but these messages are often not seen by the user if they come from people who are not in their friends list.

If you've not got your heart set on the Highlands then have a look at www.ridescottishborders.com it's great riding country, very horse friendly and really good routes. If you get in touch with the team at Ride Scottish Borders they can put you in touch with a couple of horse hire options in the area too. My friend and I took our own horses in the summer and loved it, I've included a few pics to give you an idea of the type of countryside.62401913_10156306919987344_467633002646601728_n.jpg64753285_10156311156622344_5039597067576541184_n.jpg64253375_10156311156532344_6146767777387511808_n.jpg
