Chenhale Farm is a family owned smallholding and equestrian centre in Carharrack in mid Cornwall. It has full permission to operate as a riding school and has done so for the last 30 years or so. In recent years the emphasis has been on individual training in both Dressage and Eventing disciplines.
Candy was born in Cornwall but grew up in Hertfordshire where she did her initial training. She has run successful equestrian businesses in Hertfordshire and Australia before returning to Cornwall and buying Chenhale Farm.
She has competed at top level in Show Jumping and excels at teaching young people to ride.
( A very large percentage of the riders in our area were taught to ride by Candy !).
Candy also judges Dressage and Show Jumping competitions.

Gary is an import to Cornwall - a relative newcomer having arrived in 1970.
A former advanced Eventer, he now concentrates on Dressage wherein he rides at Grand Prix level.
Gary is also an internationally renowned sound engineer and he combines that skill with his equestrianism to be an authority on dressage to music.
He teaches dressage, jumping and sports psychology.
He too judges Dressage and other equestrian disciplines.
Gary is pictured here with The Mighty Quin at Addington Premier League show.
We provide training for riders & horses from all disciplines. You can bring your horse to us for a lesson or we can travel to your premises or a school convenient to you.
We can also help you with music choregraphy and the production of freestyle dressage to music CD's via our "Equitunes" business.
We have a particular interest in working with horses who need care and rehabilitation following illness or injury. We have had considerable success with horses with laminitis and Cushings syndrome and have even brought one foundered horse through to advanced dressage work.
