Tregoyd Mountain Riders

Horse riding experiences in the Black Mountains

Set high in the Black Mountains, Tregoyd Mountain Riders offers memorable horse riding experiences shaped by open hillsides, big skies and a strong sense of freedom. With direct access to commons and upland trails, rides take you straight into the landscape of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park and the Wye Valley, where views stretch across rolling hills and mountain ridges.

This is riding designed to suit real people, not just experienced equestrians. Beginners, families and first-time riders are warmly welcomed, with half-day and full-day pony trekking options that focus on confidence, enjoyment and taking things at an unhurried pace. More experienced riders can enjoy longer rides across varied terrain, with opportunities to walk, trot and canter depending on conditions and ability. For those with strong riding experience, faster-paced hacks offer an exhilarating way to explore the hills.

Care, safety and matching the right horse to each rider are central to every experience. Horses and ponies are chosen carefully based on height, weight and confidence, with clear safety briefings before each ride. The result is an experience that feels relaxed, well-supported and deeply connected to the landscape.

Operating mainly from spring through autumn, Tregoyd Mountain Riders offers one of the most immersive ways to explore the Black Mountains on horseback — whether you’re discovering riding for the first time or returning to the saddle in a truly special setting.
