This gently climbing jeep track is an ideal spot for more experienced riders to let their horses stretch out into a long canter. We arrive into the Balloch valley alongside a beautifully clear mountain stream - a great opportunity for the horses to quench their thirst and the riders to have a refreshing dip in summer. Balloch is a stunningly beautiful valley and has been declared a Natural Heritage Site for its stunning sandstone formations and well-preserved San rock art sites. We overnight in well-appointed cottages at Balloch where dinner will be served.
