Specialized equestrian guiding skills and suitable general staffing are considered. Examples drawn directly from the authors’ experience are highlighted throughout. Trail planning and customer care follow. Marketing, operating a booking system, commercial and legal matters are explained. The book ends by bringing everything together with a typical programme. Annexes include a bibliography, sample itinerary, equipment list, booking form and disclaimer.
