I'm going on holiday to Devon near Dartmoor in June and just wanted recommendations of a trekking centre that I can go to on one day.

i have never been but have had friends go to cholwell stables, near mary tavy on dartmoor. lovely moorland hacks.
one friend is less experienced and still had a lovely time, on a suitable horse, might be worth a try, although i dont know first hand

Shillstone Rock Trekking Centre, the people that own it are lovely and the horses are very well looked after. They also breed some the best Dartmoors in the Country and win most of the shows. The owners are called Newbolt-Younge, my Husband does all their Vet work.

I went to Lydford House stables a few years ago and had a great time! They had some lovely horses and did a great 2 hour hack on Dartmoor. I phoned in advance and said I was an experienced rider and I got an ex racehorse! It was totally bonkers but boy what a fantastic ride!! I was on cloud 9 when I got back! Google them and get the details. If you are experienced tell them and see what they can offer you. They had nice safe cobs too!
