Hacking Track

Hacking Track view
As part of the facilities offered at Marwood Equestrian we are pleased to have around 1.5km of track that is available to hire to hack round. 
 
Located in a peaceful area of Teesdale, the track offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy off road riding with your horse or pony all year round. With the exception of the car park area the track is fenced on either side and is suitable for walk, trot and canter work. There are no gates for you to have to open and close.
 
The track is available to hire for one hour periods for up to 3 riders at a time at £10 per horse & rider.

- Due to the use of a natural local surface and some angular corners it is not designed or intended as a gallop track and we ask that you respect this.
 
- If you are continuing on a circuit through the car park please walk that section. 
 
- Please pick up any droppings from the surface after you have finished to leave it in a fit state for other users and please report any problems immediately.
 
- There may be horses in the paddocks adjacent to the track - please do not allow your horse to make any contact with these horses to maintain biosecurity for both yours and our horses. 
 

- We are lucky to have plenty of wildlife here who may pop up unexpectedly although they mostly keep out of the way!

- People accompanying riders on foot are welcome provided they do not deviate from the track and do not touch any of the resident horses and ponies. Dogs can be brought but must be on a lead and all poo picked up and taken away please!
