Girl describes ‘utterly incredible experience’ of taking her horse to Glastonbury

If you’re making the journey from Manchester down to Glastonbury in Somerset, you can expect your travel time to be just shy of five hours. Coaches and carpooling are probably the most common means to head to the five day festival, however for one local girl, she decided to make the trip on her horse.

A lot of weird and wacky things happen at the UK’s biggest festival, like that one mystery camper who set up an entire double bed in his tent. But watching the festival from horseback has to be a new one.

Taking to TikTok @hicksey_luc documented taking her horse Bob to the festival in Pilton. She captioned the video: Having @Glasto Fest Feed on your yards doorstep has its perks. An utterly incredible experience.

“Not many can say they’ve watched the festival from horseback. Shoutout to all the volunteers and security around the site keeping us and the horses safe during the chaos.”

In the video, the 22-year-old horserider showed her view of the main stage at Glastonbury as she rode her horse saying that “he loved” the experience.

One TikTok user said: “Wow you've got my dream life festival and horse's.I have my own horse but not been to festival since creamfields 2019.”

Hicksey_Luc replied: “Didn’t actually think we’d make it out the yard tbh but security and staff are so accommodating and allowed us to ride out!”

Becca Heywood said: “Oh my god, that’s a dream!!!”

Another user said: “That’s such a good idea.”
