Western Experience Day – Monday 19th of October 2026

Our Western Experience days are a fantastic way to introduce yourself to western riding or even to improve your existing skills! You will start with breakfast in our onsite café where you will meet the team, followed by a ridden demonstration from our riders. You will then ride for around an hour before untacking and having lunch, which is provided in our café. After lunch, we teach you how to lasso before having another riding session. We then finish the day with tea/coffee and cake. There will be three UKCC qualified instructors teaching you, David and Sarah Deptford and Olivia Lochhead. The riding sessions will run from 10am until 4pm, covering the basics of western riding and dependent on riding experience and progression during the sessions, some other western manoeuvres will be covered. Riding experience required: All beginner/first time horse riders must have attended a one hour lesson with us prior to the experience day so we can ensure we have the right horse for you on the day. Please book this ASAP as we regularly book up months in advance. You do not need to have any prior western riding experience for the experience day. As these days include 2-3 hours of riding, we recommend that you are of a reasonable level of fitness and in full health/not recovering from any major injuries or health conditions so that you are able to take part in the full day and make the most of your time in the saddle. If you are unsure whether the Western Experience Day is for you or have any questions, please email us! WEIGHT LIMIT: Beginner/Novice Riders – 14 stone, Experienced Riders – 15 stone. AGE LIMIT: 18 years + Cancellation Policy: We are unable to offer a refund on Western Experience Days under any circumstances, unless the day is cancelled by Sovereign Quarter Horses. If we have enough notice of your cancellation we may be able to fill your place, at which point you will be refunded minus an admin and transaction fee of £20. Cancellations within 7 days will have an admin fee of £50.
