The aptly named Chariots of
Fire is a three star, top quality equestrian centre that
specialises in dressage and chariot driving. Here you will
find the Chariots of Fire Stunt Team. The centre was set up in
1995 and expanded in 1998 into a driving centre where tuition
is available in both disciplines. There is stabling and
grazing for over 40 horses and ponies, an indoor arena,
outdoor menage and purpose-built driving hazards; along with
miles of wonderful driving in the surrounding picturesque
countryside to improve fitness. The centre specialises in
competition preparation and schooling, both ridden and driven,
from novice to advanced.
In
the typically Scottish farmhouse of Nether Boreland, clients
stay in excellent bed and breakfast accommodation. There are
two double rooms, both en-suite, each with TV, tea/coffee
making facilities, clock radio, hair dryer and so on. Even
with all these extras, charges are surprisingly reasonable.
After a hearty Scottish breakfast you can take advantage of
all the surrounding countryside has to offer. There's golf,
fishing and quad bike riding, and the farm is on a number of
recognised walking and cycling routes. You can even bring your
own horse and also take advantage of the excellent four legged
accommodation.
