Fancy a holiday with a diffeMany people choose to go to far away places where it is warm and sunny; others choose somewhere cool with lots of snow. How would you like to do something different on your next summer holiday? If so this may be right up your street, a farmer is offering the UK’s only cattle driving holiday, based in Dartmoor. Quad bikes are the norm these days on farms, however one family still rely on more traditional ways when it comes to rounding up their cattle.
A family running a working farm in Dartmoor are offering individuals the chance to do something unique this summer. Instead of lazing on a hot beach, how about rounding up cattle the way it was done many years ago in the old wild west, on horseback? There are not many farms that still use horses, today ATVs are used as they are faster and can get anywhere. However there is no getting away from the fact that horses are quieter and more natural in a rural farm setting. Visitors are able to take part in a three hour cattle drive on horseback allowing them the chance to capture the beauty of the moors and the wide open spaces.
There are many options, visitors may want to spend the day being a “cowboy” or help out on the farm for the whole of the week. This is a holiday with a difference that experienced riders will simply love. Prices for a cattle round up with Dartmoor Riding Holidays start from just £299 and there are many other activities to enjoy too.rence rounding up cattle?
