This exclusive BHS Ride Out UK pleasure ride offers a rare opportunity to explore the breath-taking beauty of the Chatsworth Estate along a never-before-ridden 8-mile route, taking in sweeping parkland, peaceful tracks and stunning countryside scenery in one of the UK’s most iconic settings.

Whether you’re riding with friends or soaking in the moment on your own, this is your chance to slow down, connect with your horse and enjoy the simple joy of being outdoors together. This is a gentle, sociable pleasure ride, perfect for soaking up the scenery and enjoying quality time in the saddle.  It is mainly on surfaced tracks, with some stony sections.  If your horse is barefoot, hoof boots are recommended.
