Dumfries & Galloway is ideal for Horse riding or Pony Trekking in Southern Scotland and is a great way to experience the Scottish countryside and there are many riding schools and stables with horses for hire, catering for trekking, hacking and trail riding. The varied and rugged scenery, open moorlands and sheltered forest bridle paths are familiar to riders from all over Great Britain and Europe . Old drove roads and paths lead along the steep sided valleys, whilst flat topped ridges provide for those who enjoy the occasional canter or gallop. http://directory.localriding.com/%cat_tags%/ en-us Formed in the summer of 1970 by local horse and pony riders who got together and formed Stranraer and District Riding Club. The club is based at Stair Estates, Clashmahew. The club offers DIY livery and organises and runs many events throughout the season. http://www.stranraer-ridingclub.co.uk/ 1.00
