Pony Trekking
*Available Easter - end October.*
*Suitable for novices, children, families and experienced riders.* What is Trekking? Pony trekking is accompanied hill rides at walk and trot for the complete beginner, family groups and those of you who haven't ridden for a long time. All the rides are led by experienced, friendly guides who will assist you and point out interesting features along the way. Half day Trekking Half day treks last 2 hours and are available morning and afternoon. On a circular route, you ride along quiet lanes before reaching the open mountain side for a ride amongst the bracken, heather and sheep with stunning views over Llangorse Lake. Full day Trekking If you are feeling fit you, might like to try the longer full day trek. A slow ride at walk and trot gives you the opportunity to ride through pleasant mountain scenery and allows you to develop a bond with your sure-footed horse. We stop for lunch in a village pub or cafe before returning to the stables. The Horses The horses and ponies used for trekking are kind and well-schooled and experienced mounts.
