HORSE RIDING

The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 provided the right of responsible access to walking, cycling and horse riding. Horse riding has been a minority activity within the Regional Park, but with increasing access to livery and stables, within and close to the Pentlands, it is anticipated that more will take advantage of the opportunity afforded through the new responsible access rights.

The Regional Park has been working with landowners, the British Horse Society and local stables to agree safe and accessible routes through the hills, which take into account the needs of horse riders, other recreational users and the requirements of land management, and has produced a leaflet called 'Horse Riding in the Pentland Hills Regional park'.
