Set in beautiful Dartmoor National ParkDartmoor National Park, about twenty miles north-east of Plymouth, this well established riding school offers novices, and experts, a taste of freedom. Horses and ponies used to be the normal form of transportation for country people on the moor, before the advent of the motor car and a modern road system, so there are plenty of existing trails. All riders are supervised by experienced and qualified staff, and safety is a priority. Hard hats are provided, and care for all mounts conforms to the standards of the B.H.S. and the A.B.R.S.

Cowboy horses for hire |
Newton Downs Plymouth, Devon PL8 1JA United Kingdom +44 1752 87 2807 |
The farm and equestrian centre are situated beside the River Yealm, in the scenic South Hams. This part of Devon is very rich in broad-leaved woodland, making an enjoyable background for riding. There are excellent indoor and outdoor facilities for training, with particular emphasis on show-jumping and dressage. To reach the centre, which is A.B.R.S. and R.D.A. approved, you take the Kitley House Hotel turning off the A329 at Yealmpton. American Quarter horses are bred here, the type we generally see only in Westerns. Their speed is inherited from their mustang forbears, but they are extremely versatile, easy to train, and their temperament is very friendly, making them excellent mounts for beginners and more nervous riders.
