Horse riding is a ‘feel good’ fitness. Horses, and the connection they provide, are magical. The benefits of equestrian activities are not just about exercise - strength, balance, coordination, flexibility - but also extend into mental health.

A history of horses at Westerlands
The Jamison family were breeding racehorses at Westerlands in the 1980s, but the stud was in existence much longer.
“Lord Woolavington founded it in 1904,” reveals Antonia. “He had a number of studs but this was his favourite because of the soil. The land has a good mixture of chalk, clay and sand so it keeps pretty dry, which is good when the horses are outside in all weathers.
In the 1940s it was taken over by Florence Nagle. She was a formidable woman and in 1966, she became one of the first two women in the UK, licensed to train racehorses in her own name, after overturning a high court ruling.”
