Best for families wanting hillside and forest horse treks in the Brecon mountains, with options for nervous beginners and more confident young riders alike.

βœ“ Beginner friendlyβœ“ Well cared-for horsesβœ“ Stunning mountain sceneryβœ“ Attentive guidesβœ“ Suits mixed abilities

πŸ† Funzaroo Verdict

The real draw is a yard sitting straight in the mountains, so riders reach open hillside and woodland trails without a road journey first, led by guides who read each rider's ability and pair them with a calm horse. That makes it a genuine option for a family mixing nervous beginners with a more confident young rider.

β€œWe booked Tregoyd Mountain Riders after looking at a few different places offering horse-riding treks in Wales, and we are absolutely thrilled that we chose Tregoyd. It was the most incredible experience! There were four of us on the trek - myself, my two daughters (aged 11 and 12), and a lady who was riding as part of her 60th birthday celebrations. Jake was just brilliant: incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and great at chatting with both of my daughters, making them feel comfortable and included throughout the ride. The scenery was simply magical, and the horses - Jazz, Bluebell and TJ - were clearly very well cared for and perfectly suited to each rider. It was lovely to see how well matched everyone was with their horse. Lunch was a very welcome break and a great opportunity to relax and chat with the other riders. We all came away wanting to return and do another trek! My husband decided not to ride, but he was given some great advice about local walks to enjoy with our dog, which was really appreciated. We genuinely cannot recommend Tregoyd Mountain Riders enough. If you're considering booking a riding experience in Wales, do it - you will not regret it! Thank you so much to Tregoyd and especially Jake for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back! πŸ΄β€οΈβ€

β€œWhat an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. We did the hillside ride in the morning followed by the forest ride in the afternoon, and both offered something completely different and equally memorable. The hillside ride provided stunning views of the Welsh countryside and a real sense of freedom riding across the open landscape. The afternoon forest ride was a wonderful contrast, taking us through beautiful woodland trails that felt peaceful and adventurous at the same time. The horses were well cared for, calm, and perfectly matched to each rider’s ability. The team were friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about both the horses and the local area, making everyone feel welcome and confident throughout the day. A special thank you to our guide, Charlene, who was absolutely brilliant throughout the day. She was knowledgeable, patient, and great company, helping make the experience both enjoyable and memorable for riders of all abilities. If you are looking for an authentic riding experience in Wales with beautiful scenery and excellent guides, I cannot recommend Tregoyd Mountain Riders highly enough. We will definitely be back.”

β€œWe had an amazing experience with Jake and his colleagues this week. We took part in a family beginner half trek, 2 intermediate half treks with my daughter and my daughter took part in a half trek on her own too - she is a strong intermediate rider 9 years old been riding for 18 months. The horses were stunning, so good, so looked after - their shoes were impeccable, groomed and such lovely temperaments. Jake and his colleagues were excellent at reading the abilities of all of us, matching us with horses and ensuring we got the most out of our time. The scenery is stunning and with the yard situated right in the mountains you are straight into a stunning hack without the journey via roads that you get with some stables in the area. Would throughly recommend. - we are missing the horses desperately - my daughter the most who loved riding Tiger Lilly - thank you for making our time in wales so special.”

Overview

A working mountain yard where a morning hillside ride and an afternoon forest trek each open up completely different country, from open upland to wooded trails. Families can mix a beginner trek with intermediate half treks, so a cautious first-timer and a keener young rider both get a ride suited to them, with guides like Jake helping along the way.
