UNICORN TRAILS TRAIL RIDING HOLIDAYS

The rides listed below are 'point-to-point' trails, which means you'll set out from your location on a day's riding and end up at a different place for the night. Trail rides are a good way to cover ground and often allow you to explore different areas, eco systems and cultures.

Some point-to-point trails are circular, bringing you back to the place you started, whereas others will finish in a totally different place, allowing you to experience as much of the country and it's scenery as possible. Accommodation will vary depending on your chosen horse riding holiday. There might be some camping, or you may stay at small guest houses or hotels.

You do need to have some riding fitness as trails often involve 4-6 hours in the saddle daily and you may not easily be able to have a day off.
