Cornish Riding Holidays is a family run equestrian centre, open all-year round for hacking, tuition and residential riding holidays. Unaccompanied fun packed children's holidays are run throughout the year during school breaks. Adult courses, tailored to suit the individual take place during term times, all standards are catered for but we specialise in novice and the nervous. We are set in the heart of the Cornish countryside in an area steeped in the history of seafaring and tin-mining. We are well situated for visiting the family attractions and beauty spots that Cornwall is famous for. The strains of everyday life will

soon disappear in the relaxed friendly atmosphere, with our animals and staff.

 

We are fully licensed, insured and approved by The British Horse Society, The Association of British Riding Schools. These inspections cover the care of the horses, tack, the standard of facilities and level of teaching.  Lessons are given by our energetic and friendly team of B.H.S. and A.B.R.S. qualified instructors.

 

We have many breeds of horses both Native and European, ranging from 10 to 17 hands high, and schooled to an exceptionally high standard. Many are, or have been competition horses in different spheres. The fifty or so horses include grade 'C' show jumpers, novice eventers and medium level dressage horses.

 

Teaching is of a high standard carried out in our full size, purpose-built indoor and international size outdoor arena. We have a full course of jumps for those wishing to improve their show jumping.  Once you feel confident, try the more challenging obstacles and combinations situated in the open fields. For the more adventurous we have a progressive series of cross country courses.

 

We are fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful open countryside threaded with bridleways and tracks ready to be explored on horseback. Hacking takes in a variety of terrain to suit every standard of rider. If you simply enjoy your riding then there are long woodland canters, steep hills to scramble up and streams to splash through, or on Gwithian Beach. 4 miles of golden sand.

 

Farmhouse accommodation is in a modernised stone bungalow with spectacular sea views solely for holiday guests to use. Guest have their own lounge with colour T.V. and the use of a video player.
