These days run from 10am to 3pm and include a £10 lunch voucher for one of our Catering Outlets. They are priced at £65 per person and we accept only one person taking part in the experience and one extra guest ( An additional £10 lunch voucher can be purchased by the extra guest). Minimum age for this experience is 14 years.
An experience day will include:

- Harnessing demonstration - learn about the pieces of the harness, how to put in on the horse and how it works.
- Harness up the horse and practise long reigning to gain an understanding of commanding and controlling the horse.
- Have a go at hitching the horse to a vehicle and driving a single horse.
- Un-harness the horse and learn about his diet.
- Feeding the horses.
The programme of activities is dependant on the capability of the participant, however, where it is possible, reasonable adjustments will be made to try and ensure that the Shire Horse Experience Day is open to all.
