Travel Trade
Eat Sleep Ride is a unique rural destination in the Scottish Borders offering immersive, community-connected experiences for visitors seeking something deeper than traditional tourism.
Set on a reclaimed, off-grid site, we bring together horses, nature, food, learning and people to create experiences that are restorative, grounding and genuinely memorable. Visitors don’t just pass through — they participate, connect, and leave with a sense of belonging and perspective.
Our experiences reflect the growing transformation economy, where travellers value wellbeing, personal relevance, sustainability and authentic connection. Whether through equine-led leadership sessions, gentle horse interactions, shared meals by the fire, or time spent in nature, everything we offer is designed to create value beyond the visit.
We work with individuals, families, groups and organisations, and are well suited to multigenerational travel, slow tourism, wellbeing breaks and values-led retreats. Our year-round offer supports sustainable tourism while remaining rooted in local community, land stewardship and care.

Experience Overview
Set on our fully off-grid, solar-powered site overlooking the North Sea coast, this immersive experience offers visitors more than a riding lesson — it offers connection.
Guests are welcomed into our working rural project, where rescued horses, land restoration and community leadership come together. The experience blends gentle riding with horse connection, storytelling and time to slow down.
It is beginner-friendly and reflective in nature — ideal for travellers seeking authenticity, wellbeing and meaningful rural interaction rather than technical equestrian sport.
