Craven Country Ride
The Craven Country Ride is a favourite with many of our guests at The Sheep Dip. Located approximately 15 miles from our accommodation, Pot Haw Farm offer 600 acres of farm rides.
The routes are clearly marked and include water complexes, stepped banks, trakehners, logs, portable jumps and bendy poles. The farm also runs cross country training days throughout the season. Riders of all abilities are welcome.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Howard and Jane and the countryside was truly breathtaking. Hope to be back next year ... Sally & Storm
