Riding Lessons in Cornwall

BHS Accredited coaching travelling into North Cornwall

Fernfield Equestrian regularly crosses the border from West Devon to deliver professional riding lessons across North Cornwall. From the rolling fields around Launceston to the moors above Camelford and the coastline near Bude, we travel to private yards and hire venues to coach riders of every level.

Lessons are delivered by a British Horse Society Accredited Professional Coach with both Stage 3 Complete Horsemanship and Stage 4 Senior Yard Manager qualifications, plus a deep grounding in dressage and flatwork as a BD Trainee Judge.

Coaching Across North Cornwall

We come to you across Cornwall — Launceston, Bude, Camelford, Holsworthy, Stratton, Bodmin and the surrounding villages. Whether you keep your horse at home or at a livery yard, we can deliver a professional lesson in your own arena, or meet you at a local hire venue.

Travel is included in your quote based on distance from our Okehampton base. We can also coordinate with neighbours and yard-mates so several riders share one trip and keep individual costs down.

Dressage, Flatwork and Competition Preparation

Many Cornish riders come to us for help bridging the gap from confident hacker to competitive dressage rider. We coach flatwork from the basics through to Elementary, with a strong focus on rhythm, accuracy and the lateral work that wins marks at affiliated and unaffiliated tests alike.

For jumping and eventing riders, our flatwork sessions feed straight into better balance, more controllable strides and quieter horses on cross-country day.

Pony Club, Junior Riders and Adult Returners

We are available to Pony Club branches across Cornwall, as well as private families looking for one-to-one tuition for their children. Adult learners and returning riders are equally welcome — we know how nerve-wracking it can be to pick riding back up after years away, and our coaching style is patient, calm and judgement-free.

Schooling and Horse Care

If your horse needs a tune-up but you can't put in the saddle time yourself, our schooling service is ideal. We will ride and progress your horse on the specific skills you want developed, then walk you through the changes so you can keep building on them. Horse and pony care/holiday cover is also available within five miles of our base.
