What a priviledge to ride out for a couple of hours with Tash as our leader. The way he connects with his horse was lovely for my daughter (currently horse mad teenager!) to experience. With only the 2 of us on the ride it meant my daughter had her chance to canter out on the open hill for the 1st time - an experience she won't forget as she's still buzzing this evening. Both our horses were great and keen to trot and canter when asked, and Tash was very encouraging and explained things really well, and I think also reads people as well as he reads horses!! Thank you.
Diolch i Tash am mynd a fi a fy mam fynu i'r mynyddoedd am dwy awr ar cefylau. Roedd h'in llawer o hywl a rydw i eislau gwneud hi eto yn yr haf. Roedd Tash yn amazing yn gwneud y reid yn diddorol a hwyliog. Diolch o galon i Tash a pawb yn y stablau i gwneud diwrnod i ddim anghofio. Diolch!

Both young and old members of our riding party loved the experience, especially the trotting. We were warmly received by the whole staff, especially Ellen who kindly allocated our horses, and Tas whose humour and wisdom went a long way. Whatever our ability, the stables catered for us. The horses were happy and well looked after ~ we formed lovely bonds in such a short time. Such a beautiful setting too. This is our second visit and we’ll definitely be back.

Visited today with my wife and two children (12 & 7) and we all had a fantastic time. As soon as we turned up we were welcomed by the chap who owns it who was so friendly and chatty. All the horses are beautifully kept and seem so happy. They picked up that my 12 year old daughter was nervous so she went up the front with the lady leading us all who helped her all the way to keep her calm. My 7 year old son loved his ride on his. Loved how we all rode independently, following one another. Was a lovely scenic route we took. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend

First horse riding experience for my 7 year old daughter who absolutely loved it. The ladies leading the 1 hour countryside experience were wonderful and took great care of my daughter whilst still making her feel like she was in control of her horse. I’d love to return and do a longer ride one day. Thanks so much for making my daughter fall in love with horse riding

I had an exhilarating birthday surprise, trekking in Snowdonia with Tash as my guide. It has been years since I have sat a horse but I quickly resumed confidence and enjoyed the company of Charlie (horse) and Tash, who was very knowledgeable and full of interesting stories of experiences in his life with horses.
The scenery was wild and breathtaking, a wonderful birthday present, so loved being on a horses again. I would recommend this riding stables to anyone experienced or otherwise. I felt completely in safe hands and it is clear that the ponies are well cared for and loved.
Thank you so much

Fantastic afternoon!
Thank you to the staff at the stables today for all their patience and kindness with our daughter Erin. She started off so nervous about her first trek outside of a sand school but they all helped make her feel relaxed and she had a great time on her pony Screech.
We had a full hours trek and it was well worth the money. We started off in the sand school with some pointers in basic riding as myself and two others were new to riding. This was really helpful to me and I felt safe in the hands of the staff.
The trek itself was so much fun. We even did a little trotting!
The horses looked well cared for and were so gentle to be around. They certainly new what to do even if their rider didn’t - thanks Jacob!
Excellent trek had by all! Great staff! Super friendly and knowledgeable! Beautiful we mannered horses.

Absolutely amazing ride out even though it was probably the worst weather it could possibly be!
Tas was an amazing guide for the ride, with his ability, talent and true passion for horses shining through. Great sense of humour and a fantastic outlook on riding life.
I'll definitely be joining him again on a ride in the future.

There was 4 of us who booked onto an hours hack. I had ridden a long time ago, my daughter rides regularly, my son and husband were complete beginners. I was really impressed with the attention to safety. I am a nervous rider but I was on kaszack and I felt safe and wasn’t nervous at all. It was a beautiful way to explore the countryside and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back again.

Had a brilliant half day trek on Star, who is a real confidence giver. I can ride but I am quite a nervous rider and I always felt safe and confident.
Once on we had a little walk, trot and a canter in school, to check we are safe before heading up the mountain. This was a mixed ability ride, so I went at the back with 2 novices in the middle. I was allowed to hold back and have a couple of small canters on my own.
Scenery was amazing from the mountain and this a very relaxed ride, will definitely visit again.

We booked an hours ride for a birthday treat. As complete beginners we couldn't have been looked after more. Our instructor Ellie was super and the horses were great. We felt very safe, comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We will certainly be back and would highly recommend. Thank you for a memorable morning.

Can you rent helmets and boots for the country rides or do you bring your own? (Travelling from outside UK and trying to pack!!)
Hi we provide helmets for the ride. You would need to wear boots with a flat heel. Many thanks Mel
