Lakefield Equestrian Centre sits on a 54-acre site in Camelford, North Cornwall, and operates as a British Horse Society approved centre alongside its Pony Club and RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) approved status. The centre delivers group and private riding lessons across a range of abilities, with beginners and children explicitly catered for. Hacking and farm rides are also available, with prices starting from GBP 18 for a farm ride. Disciplines taught on site include dressage, show jumping, cross country, hacking and trekking.
Facilities are extensive for a centre of this kind and include an indoor arena measuring 25x50m, an outdoor arena at 25x60m and a 40x20m all-weather arena. Riders have access to cross country jumps, a show jumping paddock, a horse walker and a horse solarium, with clipping and tack rooms also provided on the yard. A feed store and ample parking are available for liveries and visitors alike. The site is also accessible for riders with additional needs through its RDA approved sessions.
Beyond riding, the centre runs a working, part, full and schooling livery service, making it a practical choice for owners seeking full-time care as well as those needing short-term schooling support. Lakefield hosts Pony Club activities, holiday camps and an active apprenticeship and BHS career training programme for those looking to take professional qualifications in the equine industry. A caravan park and campsite on the same grounds make it straightforward for visitors to combine lessons or courses with a short break in the Cornish countryside.
