Lovely carriage ride - Had a lovely afternoon carriage ride through beautiful woodland. Took my mum for a treat . She loved it . It was well worth the wait . As Gorden had to cancel our first date we had booked . Due to the heat wave we had . Gorden has the well being of the horses first . Which we didn’t mind at all. We would recommend to all ages . We will definitely book again . Thanks Gorden

Brilliant birthday experience! - Took my horse mad sister for a full day experience to celebrate her birthday - what a day!! Started off with a welcome cuppa and explanation of what was going to happen from the wonderful Gordon. Went to meet the horses and then spent the morning getting two lots of ponies in and helping to groom them. There we met the equally lovely Caroline. They both let us do as much as we wanted / could do to get them ready. We then put the tack on two of the ponies and got them hitched to a carriage for another group’s ride. We then helped clear the paddock of ragwort before going to their tea room for the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had - wonderfully fresh sandwiches and delicious cakes - we couldn’t eat all of it. Returned to paddock and finished off getting our horse ready for our carriage ride. My sister couldn’t manage to get up on to the driver’s seat to have a go, so I went up front and she went in the back. When it said you could have a go, I was expecting to have the reins for just a little while, but ended up having them practically the whole way round with Caroline and then Gordon helping me, and encouraging Ben to keep going (he is a loveable but lazy lump!) After a beautiful hours drive, we returned to help turn out the horses and ponies for the evening. Had another cuppa (oh, and we had one halfway around the drive too!) before heading home. We are both shattered, but exhilarated after spending such a memorable day with these beautiful animals and their friendliest of guardians! 100% recommend for the best way to treat an animal lover to an unforgettable day!

Lovely relaxing afternoon. - This was an exceptional experience, a lovely ride through fantastic countryside, and we followed it with the cream tea delivered in the little tea room on the farm. A great afternoon out, easy to arrange, great communication throughout. Highly recommended and we would arrange and go again.

A Magical Celebration. - What a fabulous afternoon. 😃 We had a two hour carriage ride to celebrate my wife's 80th birthday. Gordon and Otto (the horse) were absolutely brilliant. The whole event was very easy to arrange with Gordon and nothing was too much trouble. He arranged a good selection of refreshments at 'half time'. It was so relaxing travelling through the beautiful woods and parkland which is enormous at 8000 acres. My wife was very touched with the horse shoe momento.
