Spectators: Spectators are welcome and will be able to watch the whole experience. Dress Code: Dress comfortably (e.g. leggings, jodhpurs or tracksuit bottoms). Wear wellies or riding boots - no trainers please. You can wear your own hat (if it conforms to safety standards) or the venue can provide one. Guidelines: Exit the A74(M) at junction 17 (signposted Lockerbie) and at the first roundabout take the first exit onto the B723 to Boreland village (do not head into Lockerbie town). Continue for approximately five miles along the B723. The centre is on your right as you pass through the village, opposite a bed and breakfast and a short distance past the small post office and shop on your left. Restrictions: Minimum age three. Under 16's must be accompanied by a participating adult. Maximum weight is 17 stone. Disabled participants are welcome, but please contact us prior to booking to confirm your suitability to take part. Other Info: Sessions are tailored to each individual's needs. The instructor is by your side at all times and will take things as slow or as fast as you feel comfortable with.

After a safety briefing you'll meet Charlie, Dini and the other resident characters at the stables. You'll learn the basic techniques of carriage driving and, using your new skills, negotiate a purpose-built obstacle course. After a short refreshment break, the experienced demo team will show you how much fun carriage driving can be. Have a go yourself and get on the backstep of a carriage pulled by two of the famous Chariots ponies. Hold on tight as you race around corners and obstacles at speed! Your session ends with coffee, cakes and a rosette to take home.
