Riding Holidays | Western Isles - Scotland

The Western Isles are a chain of islands off the North-West coast of Scotland.

The spectacular landscape of the Western Isles, or the Outer-Hebrides, is home to an enormous collection of deep sea-lochs, mountain crags, sea cliffs, sandy beaches and a host of rare wildlife. Horse riding here is all about activating your senses and instilling a profound feeling of freedom. Uist Community Riding Centre specialise in exhilarating beach rides on the completely unspoilt coastline of the Western Isles, whilst Glenshiel Highland Ponies offer fantastic trail rides over and around the wild and dramatic hillsides – there is a unique equestrian adventure to be had by all.
