Millfields Walk Out

A group outing for children who are on lead rein, non-ridden horses, or those just started under saddle. At approx 2 miles this route is entirely off road on surfaced trails utilising a section of the Carsington circular route. Spot the carvings along the way and get a picture in the waterside frame before admiring the view from the amphitheatre. This route offers the perfect opportunity for exposing young horses to the wider world ahead at the start of their ridden career. Equally it provides enrichment for non-ridden horses, and allows children to gain an experience of riding in a group in a safe environment. Walking followers are welcome to join the group.

Worth noting:

Children must be accompanied by an adult leader.

The Carsington trail is multi-user so expect to meet walkers with dogs or buggies, cyclists and off road wheelchairs.

There may be livestock present beside the route.

The route may include a crossing of a wooden bridge.

The car park is most suitable for trailers and smaller horse boxes due to a narrow entrance. Parking is charged at a maximum of £5 for all day.

Group size is limited to 6 horses. All horses and riders/handlers must be covered by their own Public Liability Insurance. Places can be booked using the 'Find Tickets' button and cost £38.50 each. Please get in touch if you would like more info.
