Our one-hour, private Meet the Horses Tour is designed to give any animal lover an opportunity to meet and experience our amazing Friesian horses in a safe environment, accompanied by one of our knowledgeable team.
We start up at the yard where you’ll meet those horses who are free-reining, enjoying fresh haylage in one of our turnout areas, or temporarily stabled. As they’re very curious and people-oriented, the free-reiners will likely make their way over to solicit some cuddles and scratches or generally inquire as to your nature. A few of our more food-oriented crew may be head-down in the hay hole or eating grass nearby, but chances are good that we won’t have to venture far before they find us! Depending on what other work is happening on the yard that day, you may even get an opportunity to see some of them in the outdoor arena doing their fitness training.
From there, we'll ride in our temperature-controlled Polaris Ranger (seats two guests) - affectionately known as 'Arthur' to our lower pastures where most of the girls and boys live day-to-day.
We’ll take a ride through the fields, greeting the Friesians and no doubt watching a few race us as we go or come and stand in our way till we give them the attention they crave.
Based on weather and your comfort, we can get out for a few cuddles and scratches or simply stay in 'Arthur' and take in all the Black Beauties. All along the way, you'll learn about each individual horse and any and all questions welcome!
Rain or shine, our passion for sharing these extraordinary creatures with you knows no bounds. If the weather is less than ideal for you, we can accommodate you on an alternate date. We do recommend bringing along sufficient rain gear and a sturdy pair of boots as pop-up showers are not uncommon and our farm's rustic charm may leave a bit of mud on your soles.

The opportunity to 'Linger Longer'
For an additional £75 per booking, extend your Meet the Horses Tour or Friesian Friendship Barn session and turn your visit into a relaxed half day at Greenbank Farm.
As you make your way up the drive and through the gates, step into the Greenbank bubble, where the outside world and your worries fade away, leaving space to simply be, breathe, and relax.
After your experience, you are invited to stay a little longer, make yourself at home, and immerse yourself in sanctuary life. Stroll around the farm at your own pace, spend time with the horses on the yard, wander up to the tracks to see who is there, explore the woodland, or simply find a peaceful spot to sit and take everything in.
Bring a packed lunch or some snacks and make use of the benches around the yard while enjoying the views, spending time in the company of the horses, and soaking up the peaceful surroundings.
Our team will be busy with the daily care of the horses throughout your visit, so although you will see us around, we may not always be able to stop for a chat.
This is your opportunity to make yourself at home and explore Greenbank in a relaxed and independent way.
Perfect for anyone who would like a little more time to enjoy the atmosphere, tranquillity, and magic that make Greenbank so special.
Join us on this remarkable adventure, where you'll forge a lasting connection with the extraordinary Friesian horses of Greenbank Farm.
