Excellent site! I have now managed to get up to the moor a couple of times with Wendy and some others from Holsworthy Riding Club. Looking forward to more riding up on the moor when Spring finally arrives.

I have just discovered this site! brilliant and thankyou jonathan for putting it together. i ride out from Holne and have a spare horse if there is an experienced rider(used to hackamores) looking to enjoy a Spanish horse who loves going out.I am also looking for company to ride out with and am planning to do some longer trips come summer.I train horses and riders in natural horsemanship based at Littlecombe Farm.

Every Dartmoor rider owes Jonathan Mathys a debt for the enormous effort and skill he has put into completing this extremely valuable project over many years. Over those years I have seen Jonathan struggle against indifference and bureaucracy until, at last, people at BHS and the National Park realised the value of his work and supported it. Well done Jonathan and may years of good riding to everyone!

Hi, Please get in touch if you are interested in doing a 3-4 hour ride over West Dartmoor over the Christmas holidays this year. I know the Plasterdown, Cox Tor,White Tor & Merrivale area very well and would be delighted to show you the best rides if youd like to come and join me. Its a fab part of the moor to ride over and there are two good pubs to choose from if we need a hot toddy!!
