Hound Ambles continue to attract large fields, reinforcing the fact that everyone is welcome. The ambles are for hound exercise, introducing horses to hounds, for everyone to get to know each other and, of course, for FUN! Normally we go no faster than a trot but sometimes there is the option of jumping a small jump or two. No need to book your place! All ambles are £10 per person.
