MEET THE TEAM.... Lucy Higginson
Liberty Trails is not only rather smug about having recruited Lucy as a part-time member of our team, but takes the credit for having triggered her entire family's infatuation for Dartmoor. One riding trip with us, and she has been back (with or without family) over 10 times by our reckoning!
Lucy was the first woman to be Editor of Horse & Hound magazine, a role many will remember her in, for she did it for over 12 years.
We managed to coax her to Dartmoor one weekend to see what we do, and the rest is history. She was soon back as a client, and then we managed to persuade her to join our team and help us develop our idea for the The Dartmoor Derby which is now in its fourth year.
Lucy lives in Eton, Berkshire, so works remotely for us when she isn't back on the moors with her lovely mare Rosie. Her main role is communications, press and marketing, but as we all do a bit of everything at Liberty Trails, she's also helped with product development, guiding rides and more, as a result of which, many of you will know her.

The best fun EVER…
Our second Horse & House Party took place in sensational weather last weekend…. two guests brought their own horses, the others rented trusted local horses supplied by us, and with our guide Rachel they explored miles of moorland, enjoying fabulous canters on springy turf.
In between they admired the local wildlife and learnt about the history, geology and legends of these truly fabulous moors.
Our riders stopped for delicious Liberty Trails picnic lunches each day and smiled from beginning to end. One of our guests, who has done many riding holidays around the world, could not believe you can access such sensational and remote riding country with just a two hour train from London. But YOU CAN!
> We’ve another Horse & House party taking place from 4 to 7th October for which we have begun taking bookings, prices start from £690 per head. Visit www.liberty-trails.com/horse-riding-experiences/horse-and-house-party
> At other times we run all kinds of bespoke trips, setting up exactly whatever rides and accommodation suits your taste.

IT'S A WORLD AWAY FROM SINGAPORE!
A few more photos of the lovely ride over some stunning parts of Dartmoor, amongst tors, standing stones, skylarks and new foals with our first ever guest from Singapore.
Mavis was inspired by the writing of Conan Doyle to visit Dartmoor and we've certainly been able to show her the moors, tors and mysteries that Mr Sherlock Holmes himself explored.
As ever, the Liberty Trails service has involved transfers to and from Mavis's accommodation at Bovey Castle, a gorgeous lunchtime stop on the moors mid-ride, and a quick shot of something warming for the end of the ride...
What's not to love? Make THIS year the one you explore Dartmoor either on a local horse we can match you to, or your own... Find out more at www.liberty-trails.com ... See MoreSee Less

Fantastic couple of days. Far exceeded our expectations. We can't thank you enough Elaine. Next time can't come quickly enough:)

Val, Maizie, Emma & David, Herefordshire

Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience the magic of Dartmoor; you've created memories that we will keep forever. You have shared Dartmoor's unique beauty and your knowledge and kindness have exposed us to a fantastic riding experience. The horses you provided were absolutely beautiful and were a pleasure to ride. You have enabled us to enjoy a breathtaking experience that we can only hope to revisit in the future.

Chrissy, Lin, Jane and Glen, Gloucestershire

Thanks to all for a great couple of days riding, great horses, people and organisation and of course the weather was perfect. Not sitting on a horse until Friday so hopefully the bits that matter will have recovered by then. I fancy some cattle mustering next year and will definitely be back.

Clive Edwards, Leicestershire

Thank you all for a fantastic weekend. Not only did we enjoy our riding adventure but the horses seemed to thoroughly enjoy the peace and quiet of your yards. The dawn- break ride was inspired and one we always remember. Special thanks to Bob for the hearty breakfasts.

Anne & Lesley, Cirencester
