For something different how about a chance to combine two ancient arts, Riding and Falconry.
We can offer 4 hours tuition, using our own horses
The day would start with an introduction to birds of prey, the way the various hawks would have been flown, and discussion as to where and why horses would have come in, followed by Handling lessons to make sure you can carry a hawk correctly, recall techniques, how to use a hood and a lure
The later part will be spent with Hawks and horses as you learn to work the two together. You will get to work with hawks and Falcons and a golden eagle
The whole session is very hands on and interactive, and for experienced riders only
We run these for individuals with a spectator or two people booking together, the sessions are exclusive to you, we do not team people up together to do this and you can buy gift vouchers for these here
We are also running a more formal 3 day course, giving a much greater insight into falconry with horses, how both parts are trained and how the relationship between the two is formed, for details contact us
