Riding Holidays

"Confidence building for you and your horse"

At the Old Vicarage we have 35 acres of pasture an American barn stable block, an outdoor school and round-pen for horse and rider training. Locally there are many miles of rural bridal ways, country riding/driving, costal and beach riding and swimming your horse.

This is a unique equine experience; the ultimate horse holiday in beautiful Cornwall. We are a team of dedicated horse lovers with a wealth of experience and versatility in riding, driving and training horses of all types. Because of the small numbers in each group we can ensure that your holiday will fit your needs.

The Old Vicarage - Riding Activities

Trail Riding - Anything from a one hour trek on local bridleways to a full days riding on the west Cornwall moors to an all night camp out with your horse and ride back to base next day.

Beach Rides - Take a ride on one of the many beautiful local beaches. Ever swam a horse in the sea? Then we have the beautiful Mounts Bay with two miles of safe, sandy beach; perfect to allow you to do just that.

Riding Instruction You can choose any of the following in your holiday where you will be guided by our experienced staff:

Natural horsemanship - ideal for the beginner as an introduction to really learning about the horse in it’s true sense and how we can work together – horse and human. Invaluable for all other levels of experience for a richer, deeper bonding between horse and rider and possible solutions to problems you may have encountered with your own horse.

Western Riding - Experience the precision but relaxed feel of this style both in the arena and on the trail.

Confidence Building - Do you know what your seat really is or what it can do to improve the whole solidity of your riding? Bareback riding will answer this for you. Feel your confidence grow as you discover a level of relaxation and command you had perhaps forgotten.

Carriage Driving - Take the reins and enjoy the timeless pleasure of wandering down the lanes under true horse power, or learn the preliminaries of breaking a horse to harness.

Dressage, Jumping, Cross Country - Benefit from top-class instruction and facilities for all levels
