England Hunting Breaks

Some rides are beautiful…….This one lets you become part of Britain’s equestrian heritage.

Our partner has created epic options for riders who want more than a trail ride. We open the gate to a world that’s normally reserved for those with lifelong local connections—thrilling days in the hunting field, fast cross-country riding across rolling countryside, and an authentic taste of rural Britain that few visitors ever experience.  For generations, the British countryside has been shaped by horses, farms, and centuries-old traditions. But without knowing the right people, these experiences are almost impossible to access. They’ve built those relationships for you, creating exclusive weekends where accomplished riders can step straight into the heart of British country life.  We offer hunting weeks, hunting weekends and cross country clinics.

From the moment you arrive, everything is designed to let you ride with confidence and freedom. You’ll be carefully matched with an exceptional horse selected for your experience and riding style, then fine-tune your skills during an expert-led cross-country clinic before heading into the field.

Then the real adventure begins.

Ride alongside local horsemen and women across rolling farmland, ancient woodlands, and iconic British countryside. Tackle natural obstacles, gallop open stretches, jump hedges if you’re ready, or choose a steadier line while soaking up the atmosphere. Every day is different. Every ride is real. This isn’t a choreographed holiday—it’s British riding at its most authentic.

The adventure continues long after you leave the saddle.  Share stories over a pint in a centuries-old country pub. Enjoy hearty meals prepared with local ingredients. Try traditional countryside pursuits like clay pigeon shooting. Meet the farmers, trainers, and horsemen who have dedicated their lives to preserving these remarkable traditions. Every experience is genuine, every connection meaningful.  As evening falls, retreat to charming countryside accommodation where roaring fires, great food, and like-minded riders create the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. It’s the kind of place where friendships are forged over shared adventures and plans are made for the next day’s ride.

Modern British trail/drag hunting is a contemporary evolution of traditional mounted hunting, designed to preserve its structure, skills, and social heritage while following a pre-laid scent rather than live quarry. Since the Hunting Act of 2004, all organised hunts in Britain have operated on this basis — and what has emerged is a practice that many argue captures the very best of the tradition: the riding, the landscape, the hounds, and the community, distilled into something that reflects the values of a modern countryside.  You’ll ride with established hunts in the region who share the commitment to land stewardship, responsible riding, and genuine hospitality. No animals are harmed at any stage — and for us, that isn’t a footnote. It’s a foundation.

If your idea of the perfect holiday is challenging yourself on a superb horse, exploring spectacular countryside at a proper pace, and gaining access to experiences that simply can’t be booked off the shelf, you’ve found it.  This isn’t just a riding holiday. It’s your invitation into one of Britain’s most exclusive equestrian traditions.
