An event ideal for everyone who would like some practice and guidance on how to open gates on your horses. This route is a short loop utilising the Hobb's Trail section of the Carsington circuit and passing through Hognaston village. The route offers a selection of accessible gates which are perfect for honing your skills. Technique will be demonstrated by your guide and the group will then be offered the opportunity to try out each gate. A pre-trained rein back and turn on the forehand would be super helpful!
Worth noting:
The Carsington trail is multi-user and as such walkers with dogs or buggies and cyclists are likely to be encountered.
The route passes through an area where sheep are grazing and passes fields which may contain cows.
There is a water crossing on this route
