Who would want to waste time riding, or pony trekking, when they are on a sailing holiday? Not me. Anyway, horses have an uncanny knack of treading on my toes. But if you are a horsey person there are a few places within easy reach of an anchorage where you may indulge your craving:
Craobh Haven, Loch Shuna
Inverie, Knoydart
"The horses of the Islands, as of other barren countries, are very low: they are indeed muscular and strong, beyond what their size gives reason for expecting; but a bulky man upon one of their backs makes a very disproportionate appearance." A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Samuel Johnson, 1775, Ed RW Chapman, Oxford University Press, 1970
