Bring Your Own Horse on Holiday

Holwell is the most awesome place to come and enjoy a riding holiday from; even the horses can enjoy the same 5 star standards of accommodation and that is before you venture out into the stunning scenery of the area.

You can ride from any point of the compass from Holwell and not see another soul or hit a road all day. Located between the famous landmarks of Hay Tor, Hound Tor and Widecombe in the Moor, the riding is unsurpassed.

Adjoining the farm is Holwell Lawn; a cross country course owned and managed by the South Devon Hunt Pony Club. Please ask for a calendar of events for 2012. The South Devon Foxhounds also meet in the area regularly and we can arrange hirelings from £60 a day. There is usually a Lawn Meet at Holwell once a year which we can notify you of nearer the time.

Holwell Farm breeds pedigree and non pedigree Dartmoor Ponies and there is always a wide selection of ponies to buy - their temperaments make them ideal first ponies for children, excellent companions and efficient, low maintenance conservation graziers. They start at just £100 for a non-pedigree handled youngster.

There are 12 spacious loose boxes located in a gated yard with tack and feed room. We can supply straw for bedding and our own hay and hayledge; we suggest you bring your own hard feed. There are numerous secure fields near the yard for turnout.

You will never suffer from lack of choice of where to ride to on Dartmoor. If you are not bringing a horses but would still love to ride when you come to us we can arrange riding from Shilstone Rocks Stables in the village of Widecombe itself.

By far the most exciting way to see and appreciate Dartmoor is from a saddle.
