If you love to roam the countryside on horseback, you should make sure you know where you are going!
Before you leave for trail make sure you go through all your map and route descriptions, the key thing is to make sure you have got everything you need to navigate your route and you understand it. Once you have arrived at your planned destination, make sure you find the time to go through your route for the next day. *Extra Tip – Plan your lunch stop. Organisation is key.
We do recommend downloading the premium version of OS Maps on your phone the night before your ride (you will need the 1:25 000 map). Having OS Maps will give you extra peace of mind. If you ever have any confusion when on route you can open the app and it will show you your exact location.
Even though trail riding involves some preparation, all of it serves the purpose of enjoying a carefree ride. The more you relax during the ride, the more your horse will enjoy it, and you as well.
We do hope you have enjoyed our top tips to help your trail riding skills.
Don’t forget to take pictures! Happy Trail Riding! 🐴🌞⛰️
