Horse riding is a very popular activity - especially in Angus, where both locals and visitors take part.
Whether you're a family looking for a new activity or an experienced rider looking to book a riding holiday, Angus is the ideal destination.
For outdoor riding, the wide-open spaces and breath-taking scenery of the Glens is hard to beat.
Don't underestimate the joys of riding on the old drove roads, farm tracks and forest paths in the lower areas of the county. They offer the chance to experience rural Angus in a uniquely leisured fashion.
And if riding on the beach is your thing, the Angus coastline offers several long and relatively unpopulated beaches where you can enjoy the thrill of riding through the surf - you might even spot some hardy souls out windsurfing or sailing.
Why Angus leads the way for indoor horse riding in Scotland
If, however, you would like a guaranteed dry riding experience, Angus is well catered for. The largest indoor arena in the area is Pathhead Equestrian in Kirriemuir, where riding is available for all ages and abilities and either indoors or out, as the weather dictates.
Riding in Angus, be it high up in the Glens, down in the lowlands or along the beaches, indoors or outdoors, is a unique experience.
Whether it's the reason for your holiday or just a morning's fun, horse riding in Angus will leave you with a holiday memory you'll always remember.
For a different type of riding in Angus, try cycling. The county is blessed with some of the best road and mountain bike trails in Scotland. Outdoor Angus organisations can offer equipment for hire and expert guidance.
