So often when talking things falconry and horses to the general public people will say they’d love to go to Mongolia to see horses and eagles being used together. But who needs to go to Mongolia when you can come to Devon We have, as far as we’re aware, the only eagles in the ukContinue reading “Who needs to go to Mongolia?”

Our 5 day course
We put a lot of thought into whether to offer a longer course, our one day falconry from horses sessions are great fun, but are aimed at giving people a nice day out trying something a bit different Our five day course is aimed at giving a much deeper insight into how it all works,Continue reading “Our 5 day course”
Teaching course
Our falconry from horses days are great fun, and we’re really proud of them, but they are a basic play with horses and hawks session. After several enquiries we have decided to offer a more formal 5 day teaching course for those with a greater interest, showing how we train the hawks and the horses,Continue reading “Teaching course”
At work and play
We are probably more than a bit biased but we think the team are the best examples of the versatility of the well recycled racehorse. Though they have a job with us as professional display and teaching horses we are firm believers that happy horses have a varied life and everything we do with themContinue reading “At work and play”
The year that never was
The last 12 months has been so hard on everyone, and all have their stories of the problems it has caused. It’s been 12 months since we did any paid work with the team as the virus has prevented people from coming for much of the time, all our displays last summer were cancelled AsContinue reading “The year that never was”

We call ourselves a team for a good reason, everyone who works here, Hawks, Hounds, Horses and humans have to work together happily, not just tolerate each other, but to get this takes time, consistency, and (luckily ) a huge amount to fun. Dogs and hawks are easy, the pointing dogs are obsessive hunters, bredContinue reading “The team”

Trust is a three way thing in our line of work, and has to be genuine and absolute, between ourselves, the horses and the hawks we work with them. To try and show this we decided to do something that, as far as we’re aware, no one has done before,and try and work a falconContinue reading “Trust”
The thoroughbred in falconry
I started using horses for Falconry in 2001, by mistake really, I had just set up Dartmoor Hawking, doing Falconry commercially, as a change of life after the death of my first wife, and had got back to my Parents Farm where I kept my horse at the time. I was riding a thoroughbred mareContinue reading “The thoroughbred in falconry”
Some real Falconry
Our displays look amazing, (though we say so ourselves 😁), our teaching days are an amazing experience for the participants, but we never stray far from our roots. I originally started flying Falcons from horses as a means to enhance my Falconry, or more specifically flights at crows using fast Falcons on the moors. TheContinue reading “Some real Falconry”
