Finlake Riding Centre is situated in the beautiful Teign valley on the edge of Dartmoor National Park.Adjacent to Finlake Holiday Park it benefits from scenic off road hacking in private parkland and woodland trails.All the bridle tracks have been 'all weather' surfaced so that even in inclement weather under foot remains good.Hacking: All ages and standards of rider are catered for from absolute beginners to the more experienced riders on our "walk, trot, canter, gallop" rides! Young children and nervous adults may prefer our half hour stroll where our experienced staff will be able to lead rein anyone requiring assistance.Very small children can ride our tiny miniature shetland pony Wilfred or the slightly bigger Wallie. All our horses & ponies are extremely well cared for by our dedicated staff members, the horses welfare and customer safety is paramount. Finlake Riding Stables has something to offer everyone, we welcome any inspection prior to riding.

Had an hours session with 3 friends as part of a trip away for my 40th, the staff were amazing they were really friendly and bubbly and upbeat, made us at ease especially with my friend who hadn’t rode before, they had boots and hats to borrow and gave us a hair covering and disposable gloves (for COVID purposes) (gloves were a small fee or you could bring your own!) There was a full briefing on what to do and your horses behaviours (mine was known to be a fidget - wanting to keep moving, whilst my friends was a bit lazy - needing encouragement to get moving) it was nice because you kind of got to know the horse too before the trip. They wouldn’t put a horse with someone who couldn’t handle it as they asked you questions about your ability in the form before the ride and asked questions from reading the form, they were very thorough, checking your weight and height to give you the right horse! The ride was 8 of us with 3 staff one at the front one at the back and one in the middle! They called instructions to you or came over if they thought you were struggling. They supported my friend really well as she was new to riding! They took us around the Holiday Park and onto a bridle path into a wooded area and back to the stables, we got a full hour and they were fantastic would recommend to Adults and Families as the others in our group had children with them and the kids really enjoyed it too! Thank you so much to all the ladies for making our experience so fun and enjoyable!!
