Horse Drawn Country Pub Run

A Country Day Out is a great idea for any special occasion so, why not wile away a relaxing few hours on one of our Horse Drawn Country Pub Runs ?

The Ostler is home to the largest working stable of Shire Horses in the UK and we offer you the rare opportunity to come & spend time getting up close & personal with these 'gentle giants’

Carriages leave from the farm at midday however you are very welcome to arrive any time from 11.30am to see your Horses being harnessed up and 'put to' the Carriages.

Your journey will take you through the pretty country lanes surrounding the farm before arriving at our local Country Pub, renowned in the area for its superb food, where you will be served with your choice of a Hot or Cold Home Cooked Lunch and Drink before your return journey.

Your Horses remain with you at the pub & our highly experienced Staff will take delight in sharing their knowledge of this wonderfully majestic breed of horses with you and answering any questions you may have.

Suitable for both the young and young at heart these Days Out are a unique idea for Birthdays, Anniversaries or indeed just for the 'Shire' pleasure. 

Arrival back at the farm is usually around 2.30pm.

Do not let children put their fingers into their mouths or suck thumbs after touching animals - it's common sense!
  • The amount of contact you can have with animals varies from one place to another & one animal to another. Common sense must prevail.
