‘The Dartmoor Crossing’

‘A truly outstanding world-class 8 day, 7 night, progressive ride around Dartmoor staying at luxury hotels, cosy Dartmoor pubs and farm B&B’s each night.’

Treat yourself to a unique riding adventure, enjoy fabulous horseback riding across the fascinating Dartmoor landscape. On our high quality, forward going, beautiful Quarter horses.

We’ll guide you through incredible scenery, past prehistoric settlements, neolithic stone circles, ancient tin mines, beautiful forestry as well as Dartmoor’s natural beauty.

”Absolutely fantastic trip! The Dartmoor Crossing is not a ride for the faint-hearted and those who enjoy a traditional nose-to-tail trail ride. The horses are incredibly well cared for, fit, very forward going, and sure-footed at all paces. The opportunity to gallop independently across an incredible landscape is second to none. Phil and Mandi are excellent hosts and go above and beyond to create a truly memorable experience on and off the horse. Fantasic horses to ride – very forward going, sure-footed, and incredibly responsive”. Jessica May ’22
