St Mary's Riding Centre
Set in peaceful surroundings, St Mary's Riding Centre is just minutes away from Pelistry beach and has easy access to dozens of coastal bridleways, country lanes and quiet farm tracks. Relax and enjoy breathtaking, panoramic views of the islands as you explore the coast of St. Mary's on horse-back.

Ride along beautiful sandy beaches, and perhaps even paddle with your horse through the shallow, crystal clear waters. Whether it is your first time on a horse, or you are an experienced rider, our friendly and helpful staff, and our quiet and well mannered horses will ensure you have a truly unique ride to remember.
Services
A gentle pony ride around the farm with a walking escort, followed by a mini lesson in the arena. A fun and confidence building introduction for children, particularly first time or nervous riders. May be individual or in a small group. A 1 hour trek for all abilities from first time riders to experienced, tailored for each individual to suit requirements.
Early booking is advisable if you require a specific date or time - particularly during peak holiday times - but not always essential. We may have space even if you have a last-minute enquiry. Bookings can be made via the email enquiry form, or telephone.

My wife and i really wanted to do something we have never done during our honeymoon and Claire was amazing at organising a session at extremely short notice. We both had an amazing time. Thank you Claire

Visited with our two daughters, who are riding novices. Many thanks to Claire for her help in arranging a lesson for them both with very little notice.
The staff are really welcoming and knowledgeable; Fraser in particular was so encouraging of the girls and put them at ease so they could really enjoy the lesson and leave with a sense of achievement.
Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

My second hack with the riding centre and just as lovely as the first.
All the staff are really friendly knowledgeable and the horses are all well cared for.
Caters for all abilities from first timer to Olympian.
A lovely way to get a different view of the Porth Hellick area.

Had a lovely ride around St Mary's. Claire very kindly gave us a last minute slot as we weren't too organised! Next time we'll book in advance! Thank you for a lovely experience for me, my wife and 12 year old son. We'll definitely be back to ride again.

Claire and her team are excellent. The horses are well trained and mannered. We joined a 1 hour trek which included a trip down to the beach and paddle in the sea. The group included novices (which are rein lead from another horse) to those that could canter, the instructors catered for all abilities. If you have any questions, give Claire a call to discuss, it is worth planning this before you arrive to the islands.

A wonderful experience for both myself as a novice rider and my husband who has never ridden. The horses were gentle and well behaved and the two young ladies taking us were very reassuring, going at our pace and looking after us brilliantly. Riding down onto the beach and into shallow water was a highlight but the whole hack was through such beautiful scenery. A memorable experience which will be treasured. Thank you to all concerned.

Fantastic experience. Great fun for all abilities, friendly and super-experienced staff who were happy to share their local knowledge and riding expertise with their customers. Ben particularly enjoyed the beach element of the ride. Thanks heaps to Claire, Ros and the girls! ;-)
