UNICORN TRAILS CENTER BASED RIDING HOLIDAYS
Centre based riding holidays are spent in one location, riding out in different directions each day and returning to the same accommodation each night.
This type of holiday is a great choice for someone who is worried about their riding fitness or wants fewer hours riding. Another advantage of being centre based is not having to ride every day of the holiday, so you can take a break to relax or explore the local area. This makes it ideal for non riders too. They can participate in more aspects of the holiday as often there are more activities on offer than just riding.
Hours in the saddle vary and often you can book more riding on site.
