Following is feedback posted by visitors to this property:Had a fabulous time
My 10 year old grandaughter and myself went on the one hour trek, both of us inexperienced horse riders, we were given a brief lesson to start with, the horses were gentle, and we were given horse riding tips as we rode along.We were really looked after and we both had a great time.

Beautiful and Thoughtful
Briars is very friendly. Though our family do not have any horse riding experience, Briars took much effort in making our experience a happy and safe one.
