(49)

Liberty Trails is an award-winning horse riding holiday company offering competent , confident horse riders a world class experience in the 247,000 acres of rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park, in South West England. Escape into the wilderness and explore magnificent landscapes and unforgettable scenery with our local guides, whether you choose to bring your own horses or ride ours. Our multi-

day riding holidays offer the option of riding our hunter-hirelings, who are familiar with the local terrain, or bringing your own horse on holiday with you. Each day, the horses are transported to a different piece of the moor while you stay in a luxury hotel that has been hand-picked not only for its exceptional accommodations but also for its understanding of the needs of weary riders at the end of a long day in the saddle. If you're a group of 2-8 friends looking to escape for a few days on Dartmoor and ride at your own pace, our tailor-made holidays are perfect. You'll enjoy time together with your horses, safe in the knowledge that you have the support of our ground crew and the local knowledge of our experienced guides. In addition to horse riding, we offer a range of other activities such as golf, fishing, guided cycle tours, walks, and more, so you can persuade the non-riders in your party to join you for a few days break on Dartmoor.

This is what makes Liberty Trails so incredibly special and events like these will keep us all smiling from now until the next one!

This event had it all - from carriage riding, 5 STAR hospitality ( & plenty of wine!), luxury down time and falconry at and of course, glorious, adventurous, riding on Dartmoor! All of this in the splendid company of Sara Cox - who we must give huge thanks to for co-hosting and making this event such a success with her endless wit and entertainment!

This year marked our 7th year and as with all of our events - one of our greatest missions here at Liberty Trails is that every year we make improvements and every year, each event we deliver is even better than the last.. and based on the incredible atmosphere throughout and the feedback weโ€™ve received .. we can safely say this has been the best one yet!

With it being an Olympic year, Mary shared with us a special insight into her Olympic journey from the highs to the lows and everything in between.

To put the cherry on top of an exceptional evening of private dining at - not only was her speech incredibly moving but we were all able play โ€˜Olympianโ€™ as she shared with us her array of medals!

Hearing words such as โ€œMAGICAL, INSPIRATIONAL, EXCITING, ELEGANTโ€
fills our hearts with pride and creates even more excitement for 2025!

Michele joined our team last season and we couldnโ€™t be more delighted that she and Bonnie will be guiding our guests again this season!

With 30 years of service in the Devon and Cornwall Police, Michele brings not only a wealth of experience but has some excellent stories to tell!
Not only tales of police service, but also of her time leading conservation projects in Guyana, running the NYC Marathon with NYPD running club and her current role as chair of the Lyd Valley Riding Club.

Since retiring, she has been passionately involved in rearing and showing rare breed sheep with her husband, residing on the edge of Dartmoorโ€™s north moor.

Micheleโ€™s love for Dartmoor runs deep, having explored its moors on foot, horse back, and even on runs for years.

In her own words:
โ€˜ I am thrilled that Bonnie and I will be guiding guests across the wonderful and spectacular scenery that is Dartmoor - it is our local playground and I cannot wait to share it with others!โ€™

For those who have had the pleasure of riding with Michele - they will certainly agree that her buoyant sense of humour and calm authority brings a feeling of comfort to all of our guests. You will be looked after from start to finish, filled to the brim with Dartmoor knowledge and score plenty of adventure along the way!

Cheers to Michele! ๐Ÿฅ‚

Dartmoor Fitness: Going the Distance!
If you're thinking of coming for an exhilarating horse riding experience, you'll know that we promise you breathtaking views and the thrill of exploring one of the UKโ€™s most storied landscapes. However, the diverse and challenging terrain of Dartmoor requires not just skillful riding but also good physical fitness.
As we gear up for the launch of our brand new EquiFlex Wellness Weekend, with International Equestrian Fitness Coach Karzan Hughes, we explain why fitness is essential for riding on Dartmoor and why the diverse and challenging terrain of Dartmoor requires not just skilful riding but also good physical fitness. We believe that physical fitness is crucial for enjoying a safe and fulfilling ride. Read all about it here:

A Horseback Adventure Like No Other!
We recently hosted a wonderful guest and her friend, and we're thrilled to share their experience with you:

"A friend and I had the most fantastic riding break with Liberty Trails. Elaine and her team created an all-round first-class experience where all our needs were catered for and more! The riding across Dartmoor is not for the faint-hearted - the pace is fast, and we had long and extremely enjoyable days in the saddle. The horses are superbly fit and able to easily navigate the terrain. The places we were able to reach on horseback were stunning, and I cannot recommend Liberty Trails enough."

Thank you for your kind words; we take pride in creating unforgettable horseback adventures amidst the rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park.
If you're planning an equestrian escape in 2024, feel free to reach out for more information

You'll have the full focus of our team from beginning to end... Come ride moor!
