Attention all Headteachers!

We at Highland Wildrides would like to offer you a fantastic opportunity to introduce your pupils to our horses with an introductory half price offer on our 1hr treks. We have a unique riding centre that offers world class trekking on the rare Scottish native breeds, and it has been brought to our attention that we may be able to assist you with outdoor learning as part of the new curriculum for excellence.

Horse riding provides children with a huge range of benefits including;

It provides exercise outdoors.

It teaches children about responsibility

It teaches children about commitment

It teaches children to focus on tasks

It tones poorly developed muscles and improves coordination

It builds confidence

It teaches group lessons about team work and compassion for others

It makes children aware of rural matters

As we specialise in Scottish natives we are also able to give a historical and cultural slant to the outdoor learning. We can inform your pupils of the origins of each of the breeds and the areas they come from whilst walking them through a landscape that is full of historical monuments from as far back as 3000BC!

In addition to this offer we are also happy to take your pupils on placements for work experience and rural skills. We are fully licensed by the Highland Council and we also carry a high level of liability insurance cover to enable us to cater for groups of children.

Our normal price for an hours trek is £20 and we give a 10% discount to groups of 5 or more. We would like to enable you to sample our trekking by offering you a discount of 50% on the first trek you book with us so that you can see whether or not this is the sort of outdoor learning your pupils would enjoy. All schools that participate in this offer will receive a voucher for an hours trek for two people to be used as a prise or gift for fundraising for your school.
