Organised by arrangement with you at a time convenient to us both, this heavy horse course takes you back into a different era and gives you the opportunity to gain as much “hands on experience” of working a heavy horse as possible and is tailor made to your requirements. For example, we can do a combination of driving work, field work and horse logging work, or just one of these if you prefer, although ground conditions and time of year will have an influence on this. It is not a requirement for you to have worked with horses before as we will tailor the course to your needs and abilities.
Course Date:(by arrangement with you)Cost £140 per day including lunch.
Please call us on 01837 811123 for more heavy horse course details.
