We visited Unthank Equestrian in May, for the guided Chatsworth ride and local rides around the farm and surrounding countryside. The guided rides were excellent, and took the worry out of getting lost. Our guide Nicky, and her super keen mare, Winnie, were great company. It was fun exploring on my horse, and my husband enjoyed following on his bike. It's very hilly and stony in places, so his gravel electric bike was a godsend! We booked a caravan, which I'd recommend in case the weather is not so kind, and ate at a local pub (The Royal Oak) which has great food. To ride through Chatsworth was a special experience. I'd definitely recommend π

Thanks again to Unthank Equestrian for accommodating us & Deborah on the 5 Pits trail ride yesterday, what an amazing day for it!!
A beautiful track with no traffic & opportunity for a canter too!
3 hours later Tolly-Bob was definitely tired out, evidence of which when he allowed others to go infront π€£
We both needed a good night's sleep after this one π΄

Katy and I had a wonderful 3 days away at Unthank Equestrian in Derbyshire at the weekend, 1 ride across fields and woods and 2 rides on the moor, the highlight was galloping across the top of the open moor on Saturday. Katy was awsome, she was so enthusiastic and never put a hoof wrong, what a wonderful little mare she is. Thank you Charlotte, and Nicky for being such a good guide and good company.
