About this yard

Polmartin Riding is a BHS approved riding school and trekking centre near Herodsfoot, between Liskeard and Lostwithiel in south-east Cornwall. The yard runs all year on its own traffic-free tracks and trails, with an all-weather school and floodlighting allowing evening lessons. Family rides are open from age 5; children take individual lessons from age 12. Intensive courses with on-site accommodation in shepherd's huts or a converted barn are available for riders working towards specific BHS qualifications. The yard also takes film and TV work with horses.

What to wear

Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.

Riding helmet

A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.

Footwear

Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.

Clothing

Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.

Hair & jewellery

Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.

Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
