Owston Fun Ride

Approx 8-10 miles across mostly private land around the gorgeous Leicestershire countryside with lots of OPTIONAL jumps with something to suit everyone. There are plenty of long grass gallops but will be as few quiet roads/tracks as possible – simply as we need these to get you between all the grass and jumps! If you never ridden around this area of Leicestershire, I can’t describe how amazing the views are – you can see for simply miles & miles! Go at whatever pace you choose – walk, trot or canter, on your own or with your friends. Book early to avoid disappointment as we are expecting another full fun ride in our popular series from Leicestershire & Rutland Fun Rides.

The route will be marked, with stewards around the course and both a map and full parking instructions will be issued via email 36 hours or so before the event once entries close.

Please remember you are riding on private land at the invitation of the landowners and as ever, take great care around any wildlife, wildflowers and crops/livestock. Please also ensure you clear up any droppings in the parking area.

Please add who you wish to ride with in the “special requests” box so that I can group you together correctly. If you are aged 15 or over you must buy an adult ticket NO exceptions this year
