Horse riding by Houlls Horses & Hounds

If you are a visitor to Shetland our aim is to provide you with a wonderful experience as part of your holiday here. We have a stable of five Icelandic horses. With these we offer a unique opportunity to see some of Shetland's best scenery here in Burra on horseback.

Burra is made up of two islands linked together by a small "brig". We are situated on the East Isle. There are several options for trekking on the East Isle that will suit various rider's ambitions and there is a good trek to the West Isle and a stunning beach to trot or gallop along.

The unspoilt environment and the stunning scenery creates a fantastic experience for all ages and abilities of rider.

We have several treks in Burra that range in length. The shorter treks are suitable for most abilities and the longer trek is more suitable for people with reasonable riding experience.
