Equestrian Centre
St Leonards Equitation Centre has been owned and developed by Andy Reeve for over 40 years. It has been a BHS Approved Riding and Equitation Centre for over 30 years, offering riding lessons to Adults and Children from complete beginners to advanced riders with their own horses.

Andy runs the centre along with his wife Kathryn, and their daughter Alex, who is a sought-after teacher and talented rider herself.
Equitation facilities at St Leonard's include two all-weather outdoor schools (1 at 20 x 60 and 1 at 20 x 40), a full set of show jumps and the British Eventing cross-country course. Regular competitions are held including unaffiliated and affiliated Dressage throughout the year. Details can be found on our Facebook page.
The Horse Trials
In 2013 we held our very first British Eventing Horse Trials. at St Leonard's. We are now entering our 10th year, and have firmly put ourselves on the equine eventing calendar.
We are proud of the fact that we have the only British Eventing Novice course in Cornwall. Each year we welcome professional riders and up-and-coming amateur riders alike, from not only the local area but further afield. We have 4 tracks at our event, including an 80, 90, 100 and 110 cm (novice) course. The courses are designed by Lucy McCarthy, and built by the Badminton and Olympic course builders, ‘The Willis Brothers’.
The course is also open for schooling, training and clinics, and also camps. We also hold many other events at lower heights throughout the season, details of which can be found on our St Leonards Equestrian Centre Facebook page.
