Welcome

to Ellesmere


Situated on the edge of Llangorse Lake

Situated on the edge of Llangorse Lake, which nestles between the ruggedly remote Black Mountains and the grandeur of the Brecon Beacons, Ellesmere Riding Centre is a small and friendly stables with well-schooled quality horses and ponies to choose from.

Born and brought up on a local working farm with horses, Myfanwy has run Ellesmere for most of her life, and still enjoys taking out rides. The small team of happy, friendly and experienced staff, know the trails well and are great at looking after all our riders.

From our herd of sure-footed, fit Welsh cobs, cob crosses and children's ponies, all well-suited to the hills and mountains that surround us, we offer the ultimate riding experience for everyone through outstanding scenery - from genteel half-day pony treks for complete novices and families wanting to sightsee on horseback, to exclusive multi-day exploratory riding for accomplished riders.


We do hope that you will come and join us and take the opportunity to explore and enjoy on horseback our beautiful Welsh countryside and its natural wonders for yourselves.

We had an absolutely wonderful trip! We will be recommending this to others! I loved, loved, loved my two days riding with Myfanwy, she was very personable whilst also giving me the time enjoy the amazing riding and views!

I had put off booking riding holidays in the past simply because I worried about the condition of the horses I was expected to ride. Myfanwy's horses are clearly well loved and extremely well cared for and were happy to be there.

Absolutely amazing! I've loved the B&B I was staying in, the hosts, riding stable and the ride. It was absolutely perfect! Everyone was super friendly, the food was great, so were the people and the horses!

I just wanted to let you know that Kerry had the most amazing time on the hack yesterday. The all day hack was perfect and she was looked after so well. Kerry loved riding Sox and he was very sure-footed picking his path back down the steep hills.
