Giddy up! This Half Day Farm and Horse Experience is all about you spending quality time with the horses, learning their daily routines and how much work goes on behind the scenes to make them look so effortlessly gleaming in the fields on this cosy Yorkshire farm near Skipwith. You'll be taking part in multiple activities with the horses that range from calling them in from the field to learning about the harness, how it fits the horse, and what each part does. To break up the day, you'll even get the chance to learn how to drive a cart or carriage with the horse but there's no skipping the clean up at the end - as it will be your responsibility to wash down the horses afterward! You'll soon get lost in the rhythmic movement of grooming and learning all about horse care as you share the day with someone else who likes horses as much as you! For a few hours away from modern life and escaping into the countryside with beautiful animals, you can't go wrong, so book your place today for this escape to a traditional Yorkshire farm.
