TB Equestrian is based at Smiths Farm, Bodmin which is well equipped with many outstanding features, including:

Our exercising/schooling pen has been a real success. It's so helpful when trying to gain the confidence of the horses and also some riders! There is nowhere for them to go so they have to relate to each other and "bond". Young or confused horses look to the only other form of life that is with them and begin to realize that we can become their "friend" and actually begin to like us! Then the learning curve is so much easier to climb. Our full set of show jumps are in situ in the field. Having had many hours of rubbing down and painting through the winter. The boxes are pressure-washed regularly and re-painted where necessary in between clients. a lot of work but worth it in order to keep the place looking clean and tidy. Also very much helps keep any risk of infection to a minimum. We have had a lot of changes on the staff front  mainly to keep up our high standards. Becky is still with us as my excellent Head-girl.  She is still riding a lot of the young horses coming through and managing the yard very competently when I am not around. We now have a lot of very reliable part-time girls coming in. It is so imperative to have reliability when running any kind of establishment. They are all very attentive to the high standards that we and our clients expect. Many thanks go to them all....Becky, Shirley, Caroline,Georgie, Becky 2,Sarah,Jodie and our two apprentices, Vicky and Jess..The whole team is supported by many long-term clients and friends.

Our new status as an Equestrian Establishment has now been approved.

We are now in the process of making plans to erect an outdoor arena. In the past twelve months we have put in land drains underneath the pen and completely re-laid the stonework and surface. It now drains in the worst of Bodmin moor weather, making it still a valuable assett for training at all levels. The new arena will add a different aspect , especially to the training of outside clients and organizations.
