Customer Reviews
We had THE most INCREDIBLE evening and experience with Cornwall Swimming Horses! We had booked a swim a couple year's back but the sea was too rough unfortunately that day, however we did a trial ride instead and that was awesome!! Totally tailored to us and just brilliant 👌 Yesterday we had our time to finally get our swim with these wonderful animals and WOW what an incredible and soulful experience ❤️ From the moment we got there we were very warmly welcomed to the yard and allocated our horses and handlers. We then did some horsemanship ground work with our horses before we got aboard and that in itself was a great start and got everyone happy and comfortable before heading down to the beach. I honestly can't praise this team and their herd enough!! What we got to experience on that beach was just something else. The horses were faultless and so were the team in making sure we had the best memories to take away with us!! Thanks again for the best time 🐎💦❤️
Chris and Maz were friendly and it's easy to tell they love horses. Chris is knowledgeable, soulful and philosophical. It was a pleasure to ride with him on the beach and to chat about horses and life. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
My partner treated me to a swimming session and a beach ride here and it was one of the best horse experiences ever. He’s not a rider so I loved that we could do the swimming together (which he really enjoyed as well) and the beach ride was super fun especially if you have a need for speed like I do. The ponies are fantastic, I rode Spring and James - clearly they love the job. Thank you Chris, Anna and Maz! Can’t wait to come back.
