Highland Horse Fun
Cairngorms Native Pony Trek
We have rides that are suitable from absolute beginners to those wishing to do Trail Rides in true Rough Highland Country.
Native Highland Ponies · National Park Scenery · Family Friendly
Riding a native Highland pony through its natural rugged habitat is an unmissable Scottish heritage experience.
Highland Horse Fun (formerly Newtonmore Riding Centre) is located right in the magnificent Cairngorms National Park. Run by the Ormiston family—who originated the concept of pony trekking holidays back in 1952—this centre is deeply intertwined with Scottish equestrian history. They specialize in native Highland Ponies, which are sturdy, gentle, and perfectly adapted to the local environment. Whether you are a beginner looking for a gentle meander or an expert seeking a rough terrain hack, their trails open up to incredible mountain vistas and abundant local wildlife.
