We had the most fantastic beach ride this morning. Brady our lead rider was brilliant, very knowledgable and entertaining. The horses were amazing. I had the pleasure of riding Chalky, very forward going and strong but very safe. I felt at ease riding him so quickly! My friend rode Lily who was a dream, so sweet natured.
We’ll absolutely be returning to Studland Trekking Centre and can’t wait to plan our next ride.
Thanks once again to the amazing team we encountered and also the regular riders on our beach ride who made us feel so welcome! 🐴

My friends and I really enjoyed the ride.
Beautifully behaved horse, amazing views and a great lead rider in Brady, he made sure we had plenty of canters and saw all the views.
Can’t wait to come back for the beach ride in December 🤞the tides are in our favour.

Absolutely fabulous! We had a fantastic beach ride with Brady. The horses were great and very responsive. Brady took some really wonderful photos - he could be a photographer as well as a lead rider! We had so much fun... cantering on the beach and riding through the sea was simply amazing. A huge thank you to Brady for giving us such a memorable experience.

I took my best friend and bride to be for a semi private beach ride . It was something we have both always wanted to do together. I have my own horse and ride regularly, my friend hadn’t ridden in a good few years. From the moment we arrived we felt utterly relaxed and in safe hands. Jodie helped us mount out beautiful horses, Clyde and Bandit. We then had the most amazing beach ride ever!! Jodie was the most fantastic guides and was clearly so knowledgable about the horses we were on boards . 100% will be back again for another ride!!
