EXPERIENCE:
For hand led tours & instruction we require no experience. For those who have ridden a little but do not feel to confident in how to handle the horse, we advise an hour instruction on our riding ground before taking trips in the mountains. On our 1 and 2 - 2 1/2 hour trips we sometimes divide our groups in experienced and inexperienced riders. To join with the experienced riders you have to be comfortable in a trot & gallop.
For the longer trips and programs you must be comfortable in a trot and have riding experience.
Please give our staff your correct experience details when booking so we can arrange an enjoyable tour for everyone!


EQUIPMENT
You are provided with all the necessary equipment for your riding trip. Use of a helmet is obligatory for all riders at Dalseter. You can be provided with one of ours or bring your own. Safety wests for children also obligatory, use your own or one of ours. Footwear should be over ankle height, with a heel and without too deep tread. Avoid trousers with thick seams (jeans).
Take warm clothes and waterproofs – the weather changes quickly in the mountains.

BEHAVIOUR TOGETHER WITH THE HORSES: Be calm and relaxed, remember that horses are animals and might react on sudden movements or unexpected noise.
