A warm and friendly welcome is assured at Knockandhu Riding School, right in the heart of Strathspey and the Speyside Whisky Trail. There are good-natured horses for riders of all standards, from beginners to the more advanced, and here you can learn to ride, as well as learn about caring for an animal, from grooming through mucking out and feeding. Why not spend a full working day here? The day starts at 9.30am and finishes at 4.30pm, and you can spend the whole time caring for a horse, learning how to groom, muck out, tack and untack, and the basics of feeding it. You can then have two one hour lessons on riding the horse, and finally a quiz to test your knowledge.

Take a trek through Strathspey, which is full of beautiful scenery, and learn about the area`s spectacular wildlife as you go. It is a truly enjoyable experience, and brings you so much closer to nature and all its wonders. Or why not go on one of Knockandhu's picnic rides? Spend half an hour riding to a secluded, beautiful spot, have a picnic lunch, then spend half an hour riding back to the riding school once more. You see more of the countryside this way.
