At Saville Equestrian Park, we are proud to offer an exhilarating and unique experience—Horseback Archery. This exciting and historical sport combines the thrill of archery with the skill and coordination of horseback riding, creating a dynamic and challenging activity for riders of all experience levels. Whether you're looking to try something new, develop your skills, or simply enjoy the rush of shooting arrows while galloping, our horseback archery program offers something for everyone.

Horseback archery is an ancient equestrian discipline that dates back thousands of years. It was once a vital skill for mounted warriors, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, who needed to fire arrows accurately while riding at full speed. Today, horseback archery is enjoyed worldwide as both a competitive sport and an exciting hobby.

At Saville Equestrian Park, we bring this historical tradition to life, offering riders the opportunity to learn and practice the art of shooting arrows from horseback. Our program is designed to help riders of all levels—whether you're a beginner or an experienced archer—develop the confidence, coordination, and skills required to master this dynamic sport.

At Saville Equestrian Park, we provide horses specially trained for the demands of horseback archery. These horses are calm, responsive, and steady, which are essential traits when combining the motion of riding with the precision required for archery. Our horses are well-accustomed to the movements and rhythm of horseback archery, allowing you to focus on your technique and form while ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

Whether you are new to horseback archery or a seasoned archer, our expert instructors will guide you through every step of the learning process. We understand that horseback archery requires a unique set of skills, including balance, focus, and timing, so we tailor our instruction to your individual abilities. You’ll begin with the fundamentals of both archery and riding before progressing to more advanced techniques.

For beginners, the process starts with learning how to properly shoot while on horseback, how to mount and dismount efficiently, and how to develop the necessary coordination between the two activities. For experienced archers, we offer specialized training focused on perfecting form, increasing speed, and improving accuracy while riding at varying paces.

Saville Equestrian Park boasts world-class facilities to support your horseback archery journey. Our designated training arenas are designed to simulate the environment of a true competition, providing ample space for both mounted archery drills and free practice. Additionally, we offer top-quality equipment, including bows, arrows, and targets, ensuring that every session is both productive and enjoyable.

The sport of horseback archery is not only about skill but also about excitement. As you ride your horse at a controlled speed (or gallop, depending on your experience), you’ll shoot arrows at targets along the ground. The challenge is to maintain focus and accuracy while keeping perfect rhythm with your horse. This unique combination of archery and riding demands excellent coordination, timing, and a strong bond between rider and horse.

Horseback archery is a true test of both mental and physical agility. As your skills progress, you’ll gain the confidence to shoot while riding faster, aiming for increasingly distant or moving targets. The sense of freedom and accomplishment that comes with hitting your target while galloping at full speed is unparalleled.
