Cholwell Riding School
About this yard
Cholwell Riding Stables has been running for nearly 40 years on the western edge of Dartmoor at Mary Tavy, near Tavistock. The yard is family-run and offers escorted rides on the open moor alongside lessons in the school, with horses matched to rider ability. Bookings are taken by phone; the email address is for non-urgent enquiries only. The setting gives riders direct access to one of the most varied moorland landscapes in the south of England.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
