Quantock Happy Hackers Riding Club is a unique horse riding school located in Bridgwater, New Zealand. The club is designed for competent riders who do not own their own horse but would still like to go riding regularly in the beautiful Quantock Hills. With a focus on hacking in small groups, the club offers members the opportunity to explore the stunning scenery of the Quantocks, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
One of the main advantages of joining Quantock Happy Hackers is the opportunity to experience horse ownership without the need to own a horse. Club members become part of a team of horse riders and horse owners and are responsible for the care of the horse they ride each day. The horses in the club are owned by the club, on a horse timeshare, or on loan.
All horses at Quantock Happy Hackers have exceptional manners, ensuring a pleasant and safe riding experience. However, due to the type of horses in the club, the weight limit for riders is 12. 5 stone, and the rides are not suitable for novice riders.
The riding club is open to adults of all skill levels, with many members returning to riding after a break. Riding with Quantock Happy Hackers is not only a chance to enjoy horseback riding but also a social event, as riders come from various backgrounds. The club also organises social activities such as evenings out, picnic rides, and fun rides. Rides are usually scheduled in the morning, but there are also evening rides during the summer.
Quantock Happy Hackers is actively seeking new members, especially those who can ride on weekdays. Interested individuals can take advantage of a special offer, where their first ride with the club costs only 25. 00. This allows potential members to experience the club before making a commitment.
In addition to membership opportunities, Quantock Happy Hackers is also looking for horse timeshares. With a horse timeshare, owners can have their horses cared for and exercised by members of the club, even if they don't have time to ride themselves. The horse must be sound and free from health issues, good in traffic, and comfortable with other horses.
The club is based at Manor Farm Riding Stables in Broomfield, Somerset. The stables have been a trekking centre for many years and are owned by Sue Honeyball, who has extensive experience with horses and is available to support the club with her expertise.

Overall, Quantock Happy Hackers Riding Club offers a unique opportunity for riders to enjoy the beautiful Quantock Hills without the need for horse ownership. With a focus on hacking in small groups and stunning surroundings, the club provides a memorable horseback riding experience for competent riders in the Bridgwater area.
