At Ayrshire Equitation Centre we have something to suit all riders from age 5, novice or experienced, hacking or training in a specific discipline – our team of friendly qualified instructors will cater to your individual needs to ensure that you get the most from your visit. We offer a wide selection of both horses and ponies, covering all levels, ensuring that we will have a pony or horse to suit you.
One of the best things about our centre is its location; it provides excellent opportunities for hacking. Set on the outskirts of Ayr, you are able to enjoy quiet hacks in beautiful Ayrshire countryside.
The centre has a purpose built, mile long, all-weather track adjacent to the Centre. This provides the perfect opportunity for shorter hacks and for safe ‘off-road’ riding for the novice rider.
Our most popular hacks are to Rozelle Park and Cambusdoon Park. These are undoubtedly two of Ayrshire’s best bridle paths and both are close by. Our most exhilarating ride is definitely the beach hack- this is a must for any riders wishing to experience a truly memorable hack.
All riders who are new to the centre will be asked to carry out a rider assessment before they are allowed out on a hack. This is to ensure you get the best hack, tailored to your individual ability.
Furthermore, we also host themed hacks; please visit the What’s On page for more information on forthcoming hacks.
