Bowland Trails

An amazing experience from start to finish. John and Mary were great hosts and you can tell they absolutely love their huskies. Each has its own personality and during and after the run they love to be fussed. My partner and I each had our own turn both with 8 different dogs. Mary gave us our own over trousers and top, helmets and goggles. Used a quad bike with no engine. You sit on the back whilst Mary controls and verbally rewards the dogs during the run. Stunningly beautiful countryside and woods with tracks throughout which Mary guided the dogs around. Saw dear including stags and a buzzard literally sat on a fence post. Three miles in the dogs stop for water which John sees to. John also stays with the person not out on the run and transports you around to various points where you can photograph or video the dogs going by with your partner. At the end you get to fuss these glorious animals. Can't recommend this enough. Get yourself booked in for an experience you won't forget. Great hosts and equally great dogs. Treat yourself! Thank you Mary and John and the four legged stars. Amazing.

What an incredible and unforgettable experience, thanks to Mary! I highly recommend to anyone at any age.

Great day out with Mary and the coos for myself and my plus one who could not stop smiling. Nice tour around the farm and Mary was very friendly and welcoming and clearly knows and loves all of her coos (even the very naughty ones) on a very individiual basis.Mary also very kindly took and sent photos of the both of us whilst we groomed the coos together

I booked this as a surprise for my partner, a little unsure what to expect. Mary was fantastic and so helpful and informative and worked around our tight schedule. If you are weighing up doing this, stop and just book. The huskies are amazing and so affectionate which completely took us by surprise, we expected them to be aloof and unfriendly. These dogs are loved and well cared for by Mary, John and their family who truly understand their need for exercise and attention. John is a World Champion and his and Mary’s life evolves around these truly remarkable dogs.My partner loved every minute of the exhilarating ride and I was able to participate by getting so close to them whizzing by and meeting them at the half way rest period. The 10 lucky dogs selected out of the 40 odd available were so ecstatic to be the chosen few and did not disappoint, delivering an adrenaline fueled ride around the gorgeous property. Matt saw wild deer along the way and even got to command the team under Mary’s supervision.Loads of opportunities to take photo’s and videos means this was an experience neither of us will forget. Ask to meet Bear, a wonderful dog who has aired many of the pack and enjoys being made a fuss of!Thanks so much, we thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and the gorgeous dogs and hearing about the history and hope to return again. A really special experience which really is so remarkable and unique!

My sister bought me this experience as a birthday treat last May. And what an experience it was!Mary was so lovely to meet & has a real passion & love for her dogs which shines through. She is very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile.Being pulled through the grounds on a quad led by a pack of huskies was immense. Watching the way they work as a team and seeing the harmony between Mary and her dogs is spectacular. And of course the Highland cows, beautiful calves and scenery make it all the more worthwhile.After our ride, getting cuddles with the team was a great way to end the afternoon. We weren't rushed to leave and my sister and I were allowed to spend lots of time spoiling the dogs and chatting to Mary and her team.The experience was so much fun and completely worth it. It is an experience that I will take through the rest of my life and cherish forever.I highly recommend it to all animal lovers!

The highlandcow experience was absolutely fantastic. The host was amazing and we had a lot of laughs with her. The cows were awesome and really calm. We were able to pet and brush and even feed them. It could get a little dirty sometimes but for those who don't mind dirt and cow drool it is definitely worth a visit! 10/10 would visit again!

I've had the pleasure to try both the Husky and the Cow experience. They were both fantastic, we got to hang out with so many gorgeous doggos and cows, and Mary and John are so welcoming, kind and caring! All the animals are very happy and friendly. Mary was the one showing us all the lovely cows, and she spent so much time with us ...! I'm definitely coming back with friends, so they can experience it too :)

Fantastic. Accompanied my partner here as a spectator and was treated like I had paid for an experience. Was taken around the estate in a polaris to view points to watch and was treated to a lot of very interesting information. I highly recommend buying an experience here for your loved one and know that you won't be bored while they are out on the trail. Thank you for making my partner very happy.

Such a fantastic adventure! Learning about the huskies was fascinating and the scenery couldn’t be more wonderful. An amazing experience all around. Such a thoughtful couple, knowledgeable and humble. You will leave with new friends (two legged and four).
