Featured Trips
Weekend trail Hunting experience
2 night stay/ 3 day experience
Italian Alps - Dolomite Tour
Indulge in a refined two-night, three-day escape into the heart of the British countryside, where tradition, sport, and understated luxury come together seamlessly. Your experience begins with a bespoke jumping clinic, designed to build confidence and connection between you and your carefully selected hireling horse. Under expert guidance, you’ll develop rhythm, trust, and technique—ensuring you’re perfectly prepared for the hunt ahead. As the landscape unfolds around you—rolling hills, ancient hedgerows, and sweeping estates—you’ll be immersed in an environment that feels both timeless and quietly exhilarating.
At the centre of the journey lies the quintessential British trail hunt, an authentic riding experience that celebrates heritage without compromising on modern values. Beyond the saddle, your stay is enriched with thoughtfully curated touches: exceptional, locally sourced cuisine that champions British farming, and a choice of classic countryside pursuits—from clay pigeon shooting to hands-on experiences in traditional heritage crafts. Every element is designed to offer not just an escape, but a deeper connection to the land, its traditions, and the enduring spirit of rural Britain.
Cross Country Clinics
2 night stay/ 3 day experience
Immerse yourself in a beautifully curated two-night, three-day cross country jumping clinic set amidst the rolling landscapes of the British countryside. Paired with a carefully selected hireling horse, you’ll join a small, like-minded group of riders for focused, high-quality instruction. Each day is thoughtfully structured, with day one dedicated to refining technique within a controlled schooling environment, and day two set on a country jumping course tailored to your individual ability—allowing you to build confidence, precision, and flow under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
Beyond the arena, the experience unfolds into a celebration of countryside living at its finest. Afternoons and evenings invite you to unwind with quintessentially British pursuits, from clay pigeon shooting and leisurely pub lunches to exceptional local cuisine that proudly supports British farming. There is also the opportunity to engage with traditional heritage crafts, offering a deeper connection to rural culture, before rounding off your day with the quiet indulgence of a classic afternoon tea.

Our Founder
■
Honey Harman
Honey Harman, founder of British Rein Co., rediscovered her passion for riding in her later teenage years, returning to the saddle with a renewed sense of purpose. As her passion grew, so too did her appreciation for the richness of rural life—its traditions, communities, and enduring connection to the land. Yet alongside this fascination came a stark realisation: without established connections, these worlds could feel difficult to access, the path to enter and experience them unclear to those looking to step into them for the first time.
At the same time, Honey became increasingly aware of the quiet challenges facing the British countryside—local pubs closing their doors, farmers being priced out of generational land, and time-honoured pursuits such as trail hunting and shooting steadily diminishing. Recognising both the beauty and the fragility of this way of life, she set out to create something more than a brand: a movement dedicated to supporting and preserving the very elements that make Britain’s countryside so distinctive, inviting others to experience, value, and help sustain it for generations to come.
