Highland Pony Trekking Centre Glenshiel
Glenshiel Highland Pony Trekking Centre is a small family run business that offers pony trekking and trail riding in the Highlands of Scotland.
We also offer a range of bed and breakfast and self catering accommodation ideally located at Shiel Bridge on the A87 road to the Isle of Skye, close to Eilean Donan Castle at Dornie and at the foot of the spectacular Five Sisters of Kintail mountains.
Trekking
Pony trekking is available from May to September each year. All of our Highland pony treks are customised according to your group’s requirements and horse riding experience. Pony treks are done in groups of a maximum of six riders, providing you with a highly personalised service. We offer a selection of pony treks ranging from a days pony trek into the hills to an hours ride along the shore of Loch Duich, all in stunning, dramatic settings in the Scottish Highlands.
Enjoy amazing scenery and wildlife riding our fun, safe Highland Ponies across Loch Duich, through Ratagan Forest, or trek into the mountains of Glenshiel, including the Five Sisters of Kintail.
Prices for pony treks are £40 per person per hour with group discount available. Lessons, suitable for all the family (children aged 6 and up), are £35 for 45 minutes. We are fully approved, licensed, and insured, and members of The Pony Club.
Our Highland Ponies
Highlands are a unique pony breed that are perfectly suited to living and working in the rugged Highland landscape. This means they are ideal for trekking in the Highlands with the added bonus of being kind to the environment. The Campbell family have been breeding ponies in Glenshiel for over 100 years and some of our ponies are direct descendants.
The Highland pony is well known for their kind nature and ability to take their riders across some very rough terrain.
