With a focus on providing a safe and enjoyable experience for both horse and rider, Highlands Unbridled is dedicated to creating unforgettable memories and showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding landscape.

At Highlands Unbridled, the health and happiness of their horses is always a top priority. As a result, they require all riders to be competent in riding with a light seat, including posting the trot and maintaining a light seat during the canter. This helps to minimise stress on the horse's back, especially during the long days in the saddle. Riders will also need to be capable of riding in a balanced manner, as they traverse rough terrain, ride up and down hills, and cross rivers.

Highlands Unbridled offers a variety of trails that cater to different riding abilities and preferences. From leisurely hacks and day rides to more challenging and adventurous long-distance rides, there is something for everyone. Riders can gallop along the beaches, jump small natural obstacles such as ditches or fallen trees, and lead their horses over difficult terrain.

To participate in Highlands Unbridled's trail rides, riders must have a minimum level of experience. They should be comfortable at a walk, trot, and canter and possess the necessary skills to control a horse at speed. Additionally, riders should have experience in leading a horse over challenging terrain, as this may be required during certain sections of the trail.

During the trail rides, riders will have the opportunity to explore the picturesque landscapes of the Highlands. From majestic mountains to sparkling rivers, the scenery is truly awe-inspiring. To enhance the overall experience, Highlands Unbridled provides accommodation for six nights, ensuring that riders can unwind and relax after a day of exploring.
