Mullacott Equestrian Centre

Mullacott Equestrian Centre is a well-established facility near Ilfracombe that offers a broad range of horse-related activities, from casual guided hacks to more structured riding lessons delivered by qualified instructors. Situated in the rolling countryside between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, the centre is ideally placed to access some of the most beautiful bridleways and farm tracks in North Devon, making it a popular destination for riding enthusiasts of all abilities who want to explore the landscape on horseback.

The guided hacks here take you through a varied and scenic network of routes across the local farmland, with glimpses of the sea on clearer days and a constantly changing backdrop of hedgerows, woodland and open hillside as you make your way through the countryside. The pace and duration of the rides can be adjusted to suit the group, making them equally well suited to a leisurely family outing and a more energetic ride for confident equestrians.

Riding lessons at Mullacott are delivered by experienced, qualified instructors who take a structured and progressive approach to teaching. Whether you are learning to ride for the very first time, brushing up on skills that have become a little rusty or working towards a specific goal such as cantering confidently or jumping, the team will design a programme around your current level and your ambitions. The facilities include a well-maintained outdoor arena and an excellent range of horses and ponies suitable for all sizes and experience levels.

The centre also has good facilities for bringing your own horse if you are travelling with your animal, including stabling and paddock access. For families with children who ride, the gentle and patient ponies at Mullacott make it a particularly welcoming environment for younger riders.

Mullacott Equestrian Centre offers a complete and professionally run horse riding experience in a beautiful North Devon setting.
