"The best thing I’ve ever done on horseback ! "

Mandy is a super host, fresh cake after every ride and she makes the best cuppa tea !! This experience has to be tried by anyone who has ever watched City Slickers, there really is nothing like bringing in the heard !! It’s a unique experience in an absolutely stunning location, all the horses are brilliant, I rode Henry who looked after me, even when the heard ran towards him! I don’t think anything will top this experience!! I’m definitely going to do it again. I’m now hooked on western riding, the saddle was so comfortable and I don’t have a single ache and I’m 55!! Cowboy Phil was fantastic and was very patient with all 9 ladies !! Mandy and Boss Phil you really have a fantastic set up. Thank you so much x

"Would recommend this wonderful experience "

Loved the people running the holiday. Very attentive to my needs. Farm well run. Got the full experience riding western style, by people passionate about what they do.

"just incredible "

i want to say everything?? i trusted that pony with my life from the first time i sat on him - he was somehow so safe feeling yet had so much life in him.

the instruction was the perfect level as i had zero western/cow experience but we weren’t patronised - if we did something wrong we were told, other than that we were left to find our own feet.

"Simply brilliant"

The whole week has just been an absolute amazing adventure. It didn’t feel like a holiday, but more like being part of the family, which was also highlighted when sitting together for tea (and DELICIOUS baked goods) after riding. Horses and guides were excellent, the landscape can’t be described, you have to see it for yourself!

Thanks to Phil, Mandi and Cowboy Phil (aka. Sparkles) for this wonderful time!

"What a great experience"

Fantastic horses, breathtaking scenery, lovely people, perfect guides.

You‘ll cross one of the most beautiful National Parks and stay overnight in different spots. Discovering all sorts of animals (Dartmoor pony, sheep, cows...) living in the Moor is just amazing.

One of the best holidays ever - if you love horses, nature and want to experience something unique. Perfect for relaxing, too!

"Beautiful scenery, exceptional horses and guides"

Loved everything about this trip, our guides Mandy and Phil (Other Phil) were extremely welcoming and showed us different sides of Dartmoor and the surrounding area, It was like riding out with your friends.The horses were fit and strong and well cared for, I had Ruby who was a character and great to ride. We were spoilt with the weather, the sun shone and the rain stayed away which made the trip more special.We will definitely come again and maybe even do the cattle run :) Thank you Mandy, Phil and Other Phil
