You can book a ride by contacting us directly via telephone at 07841601257, via our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/haughheadstables or by sending an enquiry to info@haughheadstables.co.uk. We will confirm availability and secure your chosen date and time.

All rides are cash only. Please note that full payment must be made in cash before mounting.

Deposits may be required to secure your booking. Deposits are generally required for new customers and for all outings. Your booking is not confirmed until the required deposit has been received.

We recommend comfortable trousers or leggings (avoid jeans with thick inner seams) and sturdy boots or shoes with a small heel. Please dress suitably for outdoor Scottish weather, including waterproof jackets when needed. Riding hats must be worn when mounted. If you do not have your own hat, we have a selection available to borrow.

No prior experience is necessary. We cater to riders of all stages, from complete first-timers through to confident, experienced equestrians.

We offer lead rein rides, walk rides, walk and trot sessions, experienced hacks, canter and confidence hacks, pony care sessions, children’s activities, outings, and longer seasonal hacks across the Borders.

Yes, absolutely. We offer gentle lead rein rides and introductory walk rides designed specifically to build comfort and confidence in a supportive, relaxed environment.

For rider safety, horse welfare and insurance purposes, riders must be ages 4 years or over. Our maximum rider weight is strictly 14 stone (89kg). Please contact us before booking if you have any questions regarding rider suitability.

Riding takes place outdoors in most weather conditions. In cases of severe or unsafe weather, rides may need to be rescheduled. If severe or unsafe weather means a ride cannot go ahead, we will contact riders to let them know. Safety of our riders and horses will always come first.

We ask riders to arrive approximately 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. This gives you time to check in, complete paperwork, pay in cash, and be fitted for equipment.

Friends and family are welcome to come along for our 30 minute, 1 hour walk and walk / trot rides. As we do not have designated spectator areas, they are welcome to walk alongside the ride instead. For longer or more advanced rides, spectators are unable to accompany or watch the ride.
