We are open most days over Christmas and New Year for horse riding. We will only be closing Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.  All other days we are open for hacking along the Mineral Tramways, riding on Gwithian Beach, lessons and Own a Pony Days.  Vouchers are available if you are stuck for a last minute Christmas present.  Come along and get out in the fresh air to burn off some of the calories you have had over the holiday period.

Own Your Own Pony for a week

 

Own your own pony for a week or more, we have so many to choose from.  Which would you like. Billy, Panache, Prancer Harry or Toby,  too many to name here.  from 11- 17 hands, Mountain and Moorland.Thoroughbreds, Warm Bloods and sports horses. Some are at their best swimming, while others prefer the cross country or trotting and cantering along the bridle paths.     Whoever you choose, we guarantee you will have a fantastic week.                                                                                                                                     

Three new Gypsy Cobs

Gypsy cobs  Three new Gypsy Cobs that we have bought are settling in nicely. Press on the link and see them for yourself. Their names are Tiny, Josephine and Kelly. They are black with white blazes and legs and look like miniature shires.  They are very sweet and have kind natures.  When we bought them they each had a baby which stayed with the man who sold the mares to us, I hope they are doing well and being cared for.  The mares were unbroken and they are now riding nicely and looking really good.  I am sure they will be a great asset to us in the Summer.  All our regular rider will love  riding them along the Mineral Tramways. We are now taking bookings for holidays.  If you have a special week in mind please book soon to avoid disappointment.  Have a look at our adult and children’s programme and see what fun you can have. Lessons, hacking, beach riding, swimming with the ponies, hopefully the three new Gypsy Cobs will be good at all these things, eventually.  We also have two new super coloured geldings which we are just in the process of schooling. This is a very busy time at Cornish riding Holidays for Karen and the staff.

Additions to the family

New Additions Mossy and Nettle

New Additions Malus and Mustard

 

New future additions to the Cornish Riding Holiday family.  Four young smart looking cobs. We bought them from Holsworthy Market, their names are Malus, Mustard, Mossy and Nettle.  They should do really well for our riding school customers in  the future.  At the moment they are not too sure if they like this place and are a bit worried. Two of them rather took a fancy to Polly, who considers herself far too up market for the likes of them. Tomorrow Karen and Peter will be taking the horse box up to Okehampton  to collect 3 more smart black cobs between 14 & 15 hands that we bought yesterday.  Then the week after  half term, Karen will be picking up 3 handsome warm bloods that are over 16 hands,  we bought a few days ago.   So watch this space for futures prospects and I will try to keep you up to date.
