I can highly recommend going horse-riding at Torrisdale Trekking.
My hubby and I went on Sunday - he has only been on a horse twice before and I used to go horse-riding every a week (albeit 10 years ago).
We were greeted with a cup of coffee - much to hubby's delight before being introduced to our horses.
As hubby was a novice, he was told he would be led on the trek - much to his relief. I was thinking I may find the trek a tad boring when all we would be doing was walking to the beach and back, but they took into account that I was an experienced rider (in days gone by) and I was allowed to go for a trot and canter.
It was great that 2 riders with different capabilities could go on the same trek and neither feeling that they were out of their depth/held back. Hubby even managed a wee trot and was no longer being led by the end of it.
A great day out for both of us and we'll definitely be going back! :D
