Just returned from Wheal Buller, if you love horses this is a wonderful place to go Karen, Janet and staff are so helpful, you can ride as much or little as you like with lessons, hacks, practical horse management lessons. They match you with horses that suit your ability, but you have the opportunity to try other horses. The beach... More

Just nothing was too much trouble and everyone was extremely friendly. A real home from home with great home cooking, (you defo wont go hungry!) and facilities. Superb ponies and horses catering for all ability and sizes with great hacking, instruction and variety. Then at the end of a long day in the saddle the exuberance of a bubbling hot... More

Amazing horses, Resonable prices and awesome instructors! You cant get much more out of a riding holiday once you've been to wheal buller riding school! I go nearly every week as im local to do the pony club, which means you can stay all day with your friends and the horses (<3 Bertie + <3 Snowstorm :) ) More

Back again for the seventh year. Great instructors, whose patience and confidence building tuition encouraged us to achieve far more than we thought possible. A wonderful selection of horses, exciting steeds for the experienced riders and steady school masters for the nervous novices. Lessons in dressage, show-jumping and cross country jumping. Fantastic hacking along the mineral lines in the lovely... More

This year was my fourth consecutive holiday with Cornish Riding Holidays/Wheal Buller Riding Centre - which I think says it all. I cannot let a year go by without holidaying here, and each time it never fails to blow me away. The owners and staff are very welcoming, and do all they can to make your stay both pleasurable and...

This is the fifth year I've been to Wheal Buller, everytime I've had a wonderful holiday. Unlike other riding holidays, there are lots of lessons available, jumping, x country, dressage, as well as hacks, beach riding, swimming with horses and day rides. The instructors are great, especially Ruth and Emma. The horses are well schooled and there are so many... More
