Fun For Adults

There is nothing that we would not consider!

All of the below can now be offered as residential due to the opening of our Bed and Breakfast.

For example

• Hen parties - Come with a group of friend for the day. Ride, do some stable management and eat. Or perhaps you would prefer some beauty treatments. We can tailor the day to fit around you. What a novel experience for the bride to be!

• Corporate entertainment - Imagine a day out with work colleagues. A meeting in the morning in our function room, followed by a ride for those that can, a lesson for those that can't and/or stable management. Or perhaps a non horse option of beauty treatments or a yoga class. Have lunch in the fantastic coffee shop or one of the surrounding pubs and then more activities in the afternoon.

• Entertain guests - Breakfast followed by a two hour hack perhaps. Or treat your guests to a massage, a facial or manicure. If you live close to us why not make the most of us!

• Learn about horses - Perhaps your child has a pony and you need to know more about it's care. Maybe you have a horse and just want to learn more about certain aspects or want to improve your riding. What ever you age or ability we have something for you. We tailor our days at Checkendon to meet your needs.

• Day courses - run from 10am - 4pm and consist of 2 hours of riding, 2 hours of stable management, 1 hour helping to groom and feed the horses at lunch time and an hour for lunch

• Half day courses - run from 10am - 1pm and consist of 1 hour of riding, 1 hour of stable management and an hour helping to groom and feed the horses.

Alternatively, you could book yourself in for one of our fun and varied horse sense holiday courses which are available to you throughout the year and offer you the perfect opportunity for you to learn to ride or to improve your riding ability. If you prefer you could bring your own horse with you. We welcome anyone of any age and standard; the courses are geared towards the needs of each individual and are tailored to suit you. Our courses are run by professional, experienced, and qualified instructors, and can be held for one to five days, depending on your availability.

Spa Days

At Checkendon we hold 'Spa Days' for owners and their horses.

We can hold these days for groups of varying sizes.

The days consist of a variety of treatments for both you and your horse.

For example - Your horse could have a swim followed by a massage and then you could have a massage and a beauty treatment. Then you could both go for a hack in the glorious surrounding countryside.

These days have been a great success for riding clubs as a great alternative day out where there is no pressure of competing - just a relaxing day for both horses and owners.
