“Brilliant stables!”

★★★★★

written by eq.flyer on 22/08/2018

It was a wonderful stables, I have stopped attending because it was a little expensive.The horses are so well kept and groomed, yard is alot of the time spotless, they really care about the horses not just the money they get. There were a few times they came off as a lil rude but it was a wonderful experience! I rode there for over a year and I loved every moment there. I hope to visit again sometime soon!!

“Beginners day out”

★★★★★

written by on 27/07/2016

I strongly recommend this riding school, I took my daughters who have never ridden before. We had a fantastic time and even managed a trot at the end. Lovely friendly staff and very relaxed horses. We all really enjoyed going over the downs and taking in the views. Next time we will book in for summer camp.

“Best Riding School in Cornwall ”

★★★★★

written by Amandamullins on 14/09/2015

Really lovely, extremely well cared for little ponies and gorgeous horses to suit all abilities. Immaculate yard with highly trained, happy and professional staff. The tuition is focussed on improving the understanding of how you ride your horse and therefore ways of improving your communication with them. All levels of all disciplines catered for. Such a friendly welcoming atmosphere, would recommend to anyone wishing to expand their knowledge and improve their riding abilities. Wish they were nearer so I could go on a weekly basis! Really very well thought out planning and management of the yard, arenas, courses and events. Well done Old Mill Stables! If you go on holiday to St Ives just make sure you phone or pop in and pre book your experience as soon as possible as guaranteed you will want to book again before you go home!

“Absolutely Awesome”

★★★★★

written by Bonnyisawesome on 11/08/2013

I have been riding at Old Mill for nearly 4 years and have never gotten bored of it. All the people there are friendly and always willing to help. Most ponies there are really nice and easy to handle - perfect for the RDA lessons they hold. The lessons are really fun as well. We do a huge variety of things - Flatwork to jumping, Games to Hacking out - you'll never get bored. I used to be scared to try riding new horses but the instructors have helped me build up my confidence and now I am happy to try different horses. I don't think there's anywhere better than this amazing place. I know for a fact that my life wouldn't be as good if there weren't these amazing ponies to add some fun. Old Mill is absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!

“Old mill stables is brilliant. I have had a horse...”

★★★★★

written by jessrose on 23/07/2013

Old mill stables is brilliant. I have had a horse there for several years now, the highly trained staff are always there to help. No matter what the problem someone is there to help. The stables are very well looked after and never dirty. The attention to detail in every area of the yard is despicable, it is outstanding how hard the staff try to make everything the best it can be. The lessons are brilliant, they are split into age and ability groups each thought by a very skilled instructor who knows the horses inside out and therefore can cater for the riders needs. I don't think you will find a better riding school in the whole of Cornwall.

++Despicable means deserviing of contempt or disdain, **the wrong word to use to dercribe the yard at old mill stables if it's as good as you have described it otherwise.

“Incredible school!!”

★★★★★

written by Trenarren321 on 23/07/2013

I have been riding at old mill for 10 years now and I can not express enough to you how much I have learnt there. The horses are the best horses in the world, they have great manners and they are so patient with inexperienced riders. Being at old mill and bought out my positive side. I have now got so much confidence I don't know what to do with it. The staff there are ever so helpful and are always willing to help you if ever you are in doubt or are in need of help. All the school holidays that take place in the year they always have a wide range of activities for all their riders to join in with. They provide younger activities such as pony and pastys which enable young people to learn so much about their horse and improve on their riding skills. We're as for the elder riders they have gymkhanas, camps, jumping events and dressage competitions to enhance their riding skills and improve in all areas. I highly recommend this stables to anyone who wants to be a sensational rider when they are older or to just try out riding and see what they make of it!!!!

“Absolutely Brilliant”

★★★★★

written by sillysaint on 21/02/2013

I have had horses of my own for roughly 4 years now and I have kept each of them at livery at Old Mill stables. The care and attention to detail spent on each and every one of the horses is amazing. The staff are friendly, approachable and always willing to help. The yard is kept clean and there is always a friendly atmosphere provided by the staff and riders who regularly attend or are just there for a one time ride. Overall I think the service provided by the yard is wonderful, which is reflected in how happy mine and all the other horses are. I would recommend this riding stables to anybody, and I'm sure many people who attend will as well.

“Fantastic riding school!”

★★★★★

written by on 19/02/2013

I have been riding for Old Mill Stables for almost 8 years and I have loved every minute. There is a wide range of horses and ponies to suit everyone, depending on ability and size. The horses are all in great condition due to the excellent care from staff. The horses are groomed daily and are checked regularly. All staff are very knowledgable, meaning the horses are always well looked after. Everyone is friendly and approachable, creating a happy atmosphere on the yard. Next, the riding instructors are great, riders improve constantly due to the high quality of teaching. Furthermore, everything is always kept in immaculate condition; tack and other equipment is clean, the yard is always swept and stables are mucked out daily, aswell as checks throughout the day. There is two schools; an outdoor school and then an indoor school with the Olympic surface from the London 2012 games underfoot. I would highly recommend this superb riding school to anyone who is interested in riding; whether it is regular lessons, hacks or as a one off, Old Mill Stables is the place to go!

★★★★★

written by cur753 on 19/02/2013

I have been riding at Old Mill Stables for many years, and facilities, horses staff and other clients are all fantastic. There is a great range of horses and ponies to cater for all needs, sizes, ages and abilities. There are regular RDA sessions held at the stables, and this really shows how safe many of these horses are. The staff are knowledgeable, efficient and approachable at all times. All the other clients are really friendly and helpful. Also there is always a good atmosphere on the yard. The yard itself, tack and facilities are all immaculately kept, and the horses are all fantastically cared for; this is reflected by their condition. All in all it is a wonderful stables and I highly recommend it to anyone, weather visiting or local.

“After riding at Old Mill for over half of my life now...”

★★★★★

written by Taraandboy on 19/02/2013

After riding at Old Mill for over half of my life now I would like to express what an incredible yard it is. There is a small group of well educated, kind and patient instructors who support each and every child/adults riding needs. There are people who regularly attend riding lessons at old mill, and some who have livery spaces at Old Mill, me being one of them. The livery horses are bought and paid for by their owners and as I currently have two horses at the yard I can inform you that it has been one of the best investments I've made. The condition of the stables,yard,facilities and grazing are immaculate, each horse is allocated to his or hers own stable and provided with everything they need for comfort. The staff are not violent or rough with the horses they treat each as their own and show a mutual respect with them. I personally would not leave my horses in the hands of any other yard and would like to thank the stables for helping me grow as a rider and a person, offering me the help,support and opportunities I've needed to be where I am now.

“Fantastic!!! :D”

★★★★★

written by hshay on 08/07/2012

Old mill stables is a great riding school, all the horses are very well cared for and are not overworked. I have kept my own horse there for 3 years and I know that she is in good hands when I go away. I also have a regular lesson which I really enjoy. Many of the riders that come for a one off ride, end up coming back as regulars. You are put into lessons with people that are of the same standard as you and the instructors are really nice and always praise you and tell you what you could do better next time, The staff are always happy to help out if you are unsure of anything. there are so many different things to take part in,especially in the school holidays, there are two camps, pony & pasty and many more. After riding there for 7 years I would definitely recommend old mill to my friends.

I have been going to old mill for 2 years now and cannot think of a single fault! I think this is the best riding center/stables in the area.All of the horses are propley cared for, if there is even a small sign of illness the vet is called imediately.The teaching is fantastic and i have learnt a lot. They don't rush you into things that are not your level and always listen to your questions. They alway put you on horses that are right for your size. All the horses are lovely, there is a wide selection of them!!! I would reccomend this stables to anyone...even my nan! They even do riding for the disabled!!! Go to Old Mill. you will not be dissapointed.
