Tregoyd Mountain Riders
Tregoyd Mountain Riders
Tregoyd Mountain Riders sets out from Pantygollen Barn near Felindre, with direct access to the open commons and hillsides of the Black Mountains. The guided rides take you into the eastern part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, with broad views towards the Wye Valley. For visitors staying around Hay-on-Wye or exploring this side of the park, it is a way to experience the landscape from horseback rather than from a road or footpath.
There are different rides for different levels of experience. Pony treks are designed for complete beginners and people who have not ridden before, travelling mainly at a walk with an occasional trot. Riders with more experience can choose a ride that may include trotting and some cantering. Faster-paced hacks are for experienced riders. Both half-day and full-day options are offered, with a lunch stop usually part of a full-day outing; lunch itself is not included.
Before setting out, the team fits a riding hat, gives a safety demonstration and introduces you to your horse or pony. They take account of riding experience, height and weight when matching each person to a mount. The pace and route are then shaped by the group, ability and conditions on the ground. A conversation before arrival is important, especially if you are new to riding or are arranging a mixed-ability group.
The main riding season is from spring to autumn, with some rides possible in winter by arrangement. Contact Tregoyd directly to discuss who will be riding and which experience suits them.
