Riding in Cornwall/St Ives?

[Django Pony]

Hi guys,

OH and I are off to Cornwall for a week soon, and I'd love to ride while I'm down there. Can anyone recommend a good riding centre? We're staying in St Ives, but will have the car so can travel. OH is not horsey, but likes walking so it would be good if it could be somewhere where he can go for a nice walk while I ride.

Thanks in advance.
Liz

Newton livery do beach rides, and it's in a pretty place for oh to go walking etc

Lands end - but I'm not sure what they offer hacking wise, but maybe worth a chat

Trying to rack my brains - its one of those things that I should know,but having my own horses down here means I never go to any of these places lol

I went on a riding holiday at wheal buller about 10 years ago. Hacking was lovely

I can recommend the Goose Barton stables. So friendly and I rode a lovely big gelding called Coral (!). Had a lovely canter up the winding woods _ we were there in Spring and spent the hour or so after my ride covered in baby lambs, the owners let us get in the barn with them and they were clibing everywhere! I would definitely go back!

Can't remember the name but I've ridden twice at a stables in Newquay, thundering gallops across that huge beach on really nice, not typical riding school nags, wonderful!
