FIVE MONTHS TODAY... the fourth annual Dartmoor Derby will begin. Full details of this 50-miles in three days adventure based around a superb, specially built moorland camp can be found on our website - liberty-trails.com/horse-riding-experiences/the-dartmoor-derby/

What we don't do perhaps is share often enough the glowing feedback of previous riders. So here is some from last year alone...

Catherine: "The Dartmoor Derby gave me the opportunity to test myself and my riding in a glorious landscape surrounded by like-minded individuals with a spirit of adventure. "

Jodie: "There aren’t enough words to describe what a spectacular experience I enjoyed in the last few days. New friends, both people and horses, will be remembered always. Thank you to Liberty Trails and each staff member that worked so hard to make it such a wonderful experience. You showed us the best of times. I leave a piece of my heart tucked away in the Moors of Dartmoor.”

Rosaline: “Thank you to the Liberty Trail team for an amazing adventure! The staff, horses, terrain, food, accommodations...It surpassed all expectations!”

Emma: “Truly the best riding experience ever!! Amazing people, staff and of course horses. It taught me so much about my riding. I couldn’t recommend the Derby highly enough!”

We still have some places available and would LOVE for you to join us. The moors are looking glorious...
Email us at enquiries@liberty-trails.com if you would like to know more or sign up.. and in the meanwhile, HAPPY EASTER! ... See MoreSee Less

Liberty Trails is celebrating this special day.

We're thrilled to be the only provider of Horse Riding Experiences in the UK to be selected to be part of the English National Park Experience Collection. Yesterday was the launch on Dartmoor and so Elaine and Rachel spent the morning with a BBC Television presenter giving her a first taste of what it's like to discover Dartmoor on horseback. We relish the possibility of hosting more international riders and would love to hear from you if you fancy discovering Dartmoor on Horseback this summer. ... See MoreSee Less

JOIN US TWO MONTHS TODAY FOR THE RIDING BREAK OF A LIFETIME WITH MARY KING MBE
One of the most sensational trips we run each year is a luxury riding break hosted by the wonderful eventing legend Mary King MBE and based from the gorgeous Bovey Castle hotel.
Arriving on 10th June for three nights, guests enjoy two sensational days of riding on the moors with Mary and an expert local guide, taking in the views, history, folklore and of course wild pony herds on the moors. Then in the evening join Mary for pre-dinner drinks and an outstanding supper in the hotel.
June is a glorious month on the moors, and Mary is the most lovely lady, great fun and of course full of amazing insight and stories about her many top horses, olympic games and top competition wins.
We still have a very few places left on this unique ride. Visit liberty-trails.com/horse-riding-experiences/ride-dartmoor-mary-king-mbe-experience/ for details or email enquiries@liberty-trails.com ... See MoreSee Less

STOP PRESS: FURTHER HORSE AND HOUSE PARTY DATE ANNOUNCED! BRING YOUR HORSE OR USE ONE SOURCED BY US
With April's new Horse & House party having been over subscribed, we've decided to run a second weekend from the same lovely private guest lodge, in June (21 to 24). This is the summer solstice weekend — enjoy the gorgeous long summer evenings as the sun sets late over these glorious moors.
As ever on any Liberty Trails trip, this is a riding adventure for experienced riders capable of covering varied terrain at all paces.

The ride involves two full days exploring deep into the moors, with lots of chances to kick on, as you take in stunning scenery, native ponies, moorland cattle, standing stones, folklore and more from your expert guide. You will have full ground support, a delicious lunch served en route, and then return for tea at and time to relax before supper cooked by our chef.
Bring your own horse (we have super stabling) or hire an experienced local mount through us.
Prices start at £690 to include two full days riding with guides and ground support, three nights’ luxury accommodation (inc breakfast and lunch), two suppers (with one will be taken at a favourite local inn, this one to be paid for by riders on the night to the landlord). Please visit liberty-trails.com/horse-riding-experiences/horse-and-house-party/ or email enquiries@liberty-trails.com ... See MoreSee Less

A WEEK LATER ON DARTMOOR...
The little filly foal we saw 'freshly landed' outside the Liberty Trails offices is still in our neck of the woods and filling out beautifully, aided by a doting dam and some fine spring weather.
She has corkscrew curls for a mane, a perfectly circular black marking on her tail and quarters and the sweetest white snip on her otherwise dark head.
She seems to be relishing her small-scale stardom as our No 1 Favourite Foal and is quite relaxed now about being papped.
WE CANNOT overstate how Dartmoor's beauty, history, wildlife and tiny hooved personalities works their way into the heart of every visitor who comes here. Be they foals like this, or bossy little stallions who come trumpeting over as you ride past to check you out as you come near their mares, you will smile (and learn) a little more with every passing mile.
WE ARE ALSO PROUD TO SUPPORT MANY Dartmoor businesses and farmers here at Liberty Trails, from farriers to caterers, hotels to hireling providers. Your business gives a lot back to a region that really values responsible visitors who appreciate the fragile beauty of this outstanding National Park.
PLEASE MAKE 2019 THE YEAR you come to ride with us... visit www.liberty-trails.com
PLEASE SHARE THIS IF YOU LOVE IT... ... 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
