About this yard

Highlands Unbridled runs all-inclusive guided trail rides through the Scottish Highlands, covering terrain that puts most riding holidays firmly in the shade. Routes include a three-coast ride visiting all three Scottish coastlines, a passage through the Great Glen, and rides across the wild west Highlands and the Cairngorms National Park. Trips run between three and ten days and are fully all-inclusive: accommodation in Highland hotels and lodges, all meals from breakfast through dinner, riding, guiding and luggage transfers where needed. Groups are kept deliberately small. The skill level required leans toward confident and experienced, this is open-country riding in genuine wilderness, not a gentle park hack. A strong seat and a willingness to cover real miles are the main prerequisites.
