Equestrian Services in Aberdeenshire

Aberdeenshire stretches from the North Sea coast to the Cairngorms, with castles, forests and farmland, and a strong tradition of riding and trekking.

Where to ride in Aberdeenshire
Royal Deeside, around Aboyne and Ballater, offers forest tracks and hill riding with views of the Cairngorms. The farmland around Inverurie, Ellon and Huntly has quiet roads, and the coast offers beach rides in places. Scotland's right of responsible access lets riders use many paths and tracks, as long as they follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
