Highland Horse Riding is run by Ileene Duncan BHSAI, who with her husband & family farm Stonefield Farm, an extensive hill farm. You are likely to see  Blackface Sheep, Highland Cattle & farmed Red Deer, (Oysters are also grown in West Loch Tarbert ) and abundant wildlife.  For riding the terrain is diverse, sometimes challenging, but you can always be assured of an interesting & exhilarating experience!

The routes are varied from leisurely hacks taken at a steady pace to exhilarating hill riding where the terrain sets the challenge : terrain in which the natural ability of the Highland Pony and Eriskay Pony excels.
