About

Treat yourself or your special friends to a unique experience with a British, European & World Championship Sprint Racing Team of Siberian Huskies at Bowland Trails Sled Dog Training Centre school of excellence.

Take an exhilarating Husky passenger ride around our beautiful 220 acre estate

  • Meet the pack of over 40 Siberian racing Huskies
  • A unique experience in the amazing Scottish countryside
  • Run by a World and European championship team
  • Family & friends as Spectators are very welcome

Upon arrival at the Huskies home, you’ll be met by our family team who look after and train these amazing animals. You’ll be introduced to the Huskies as you learn all about their different traits and what makes them very special animals. Once you are kitted out with your protective clothing, helmet and goggles it is time to go out on your passenger ride.

As you speed along, you’ll experience varied terrain across the private trails, as well as spectacular views of the Scottish countryside, while up to three of your accompanying friends are taken up to a vantage point to watch you experience your husky ride out on the trail.

Mid-way through your ride, we stop the huskies for a rest & a drink at the viewing point. You & your family & friends can all stroke the huskies here & take photos alongside the team.

Please Note:

  • Sleighs have a maximum capacity of 2 passengers.
  • For the group husky ride options for shared rides, we change over the passenger & spectator at this point.

We then set-off again to complete the run. After your ride, you’ll all be able to spend some more time with the Huskies as they cool down and relax. This is when the Huskies really love to be fussed and stroked!

This activity can take place between the months of September through till April (depending on weather). During the warmer weather months in the Spring and Autumn, the rides take place earlier in the morning to make the best use of the cooler temperatures for the Huskies.

This is the perfect experience for people looking to do something different and is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories!
