Beach Riding from Studland Stables

Feature Rides

 

We are open throughout the summer offering a variety of rides. This page gives information on feature and seasonal rides.

 

Evening Beach Rides

 

During May and June we are only allowed to ride on the beach during the evening. Beach riding at any time of year can be lovely, but on the right evening, it can be magical. As with our daytime beach rides, this evening experience is only suitable for people who are able/competent riders who are confident cantering in open spaces. We also have a guideline minimum age of 12.

 

We offer this ride on Fridays, Saturdays and 1 or 2 other evenings during the week, as demand dictates. We don't generally ride on a Sunday or Monday evening. Our evening beach ride normally leaves at 6.30pm (earlier during the first week of May) but please check. It is a 2 hour ride and costs £60. As with all our rides, bookings are made on the phone where a 50% deposit is taken to confirm your place.

Fantastic Day Rides

 

For 2010 we are introducing a 5 hour ride which includes lunch provided by Cedar Organics @ Rempstone Farm. We shall also be offering our regular 4 hour ride which includes lunch at the lovely Castle Inn @ Corfe Castle. Required riding ability for these rides is intermediate with a minimum age of 12. Scheduled rides are listed below. Don't forget if you have a group of 5 riders we may be able to discuss a date to suit you.

 

Rempstone Farm Day Ride

 

We are pleased to announce a new combination of our two favorite pastimes - eating and riding! For those of you who enjoy being in the saddle for most of the day (5 hours)… we have a gorgeous new Day Ride for you to try. We have organized it in conjunction with Clare and Andrew Head of Cedar Organics @ Rempstone Farm, where your lunch time break will consist of delicious free range, organic food and locally produced wine. No ‘food miles’ here and if you like what you have tried you can arrange for produce to be waiting back at the stables for you to take home. (subject to availability) Before lunch you will spend about 3 hours exploring the beautiful forests around Poole harbour. After a light 2 course lunch you will make your way back to Studland along 'Nine Barrow Down’ and 'Ballard Down' where you will enjoy some of the most spectacular views in the area. We have already had a lot of interest in this ride so please do plan ahead if you would like to join us.
The cost for 5 hours riding, 2 course lunch and glass of wine is £125.

Corfe Castle Day Ride


This 4 hour ride is an old favourite on many riders so book early to avoid disappointment! After leaving the stables you will ride for just over 2 hours through heath land and forest. Eventually arriving at the foot of Corfe Castle. You will then ride for about 500 metres through the village before you arrive at the lovely Castle Inn. As the road through Corfe can be quite busy you will need to have had previous experience of road riding. If it is not raining the main course and soft drink provided with this ride is normally enjoyed in the beer garden …with the horses!
The ride back to Studland is along 'Nine Barrow Down’ and 'Ballard Down' where you will enjoy some of the most spectacular views in the area.
The cost for 4 hours riding, main course and soft drink is £110.
