We have a licensed horse riding school at Treworgey. We offer riding lessons, and some supervised hacking through the beautiful countryside around Treworgey, and across 100 acres of our own rolling farmland down to the Looe river below us. This is rich in fauna and flora, where you can enjoy fantastic views – just for our few guests! Riding is available under the supervision of Miranda Ben-David every weekday morning until lunchtime. The overall management of the yard is Linda's, who has the qualification of BHSII, and was a successful event rider in her youth. Lessons are usually taken by Miranda in the 60m x 20m outdoor area which has an all weather surface .

Beginners are warmly welcomed, as are the more experienced who want training in dressage and showjumping.

Most riding stables cater for inexperienced or beginner riders on very quiet horse and ponies. For experienced riders this can seem like being asked to drive a Morris Minor when they are used to a Mercedes! Some of our horses and ponies compete in dressage, affiliated showjumping, and horse trial competitions nationally. In fact daughter Holly was selected to compete in the British Pony Trials Team at the European Championships in Germany during the summer of 2000 and again for the Championships in Spain in 2001. In addition she has notched up individual 2nd and 4th places in the horse trials competitions at the National Pony Club Championships on different horses in 2000 and 2002, and won the horsemastership trophy in 2002. Since commencing studies at Durham University in Autumn 2004, Holly has taken a break from competition.

We continue to offer high quality riding on well schooled horses, with good confidence building lessons that are fun - and lovely hacking (an assessment of a rider's ability has to be made in the riding school first for safety reasons).

Disclaimer ; Although we have provided riding for years here at Treworgey without interuption, Horses can be ill or lame just like people. In no event witll Treworgey or it's proprietors be liable to provide riding, though we will do our very best to do so.  For example should we be be struck with horse lameness or cold and flu viruses or instructor illness etc.

 

Typical riding costs are £13.50 for a half hour private lesson, or a half hour shared with three others is £10.50 each. A one hour hack is £15.50 or a longer hack of about an hour and a half is £22.00

Groups are very small or teaching is one to one. If you or your children are pony and horse lovers, you will find it difficult to leave Treworgey.
