What is a horse riding weekend?
These weekends are dedicated to those who love horses and life in the stables.
If you or someone in your family is horsey-mad, take this opportunity to spend two whole days with the equestrian team for riding lessons, hacks, animal care, and lots of fun.

Other general duties that showcase life in the stables to the fullest

Historic Walk around Luxborough using notes by EF Williams
Join our walk leader Brian Scott for a historic walk around Luxborough using notes by EF Williams.
100 years of farming in Luxborough. The Scott family probably came to Luxborough from North Devon in the 16th century, and members of the family worked as shepherds for the Knights. The family ended up at Butcher’s Farm in the 1920s when Chargot Estate was sold. A walk through a remote Exmoor village with stories of mining, timber – and bombs!
