Horse Riding

We have a large selection of horses and ponies, and take pride in our ability to provide suitable mounts for needs as diverse as a young child who is experiencing horse riding for the first time, through to those who have owned their own horse - and of course all those in between!

 

What ever the destination of each ride, we all hack gently down the country lanes together – enabling groups of families and friends to spent at least part of the ride together. En-route the staff (many of which are the Owen family) are spread through the ride. This makes it possible for us to teach and help you and offer tips and reminders to those who have may be ridden before, enabling you to have a more enjoyable experience. When we reach either the beach or woodland we split up into many smaller groups of abilities i.e. walkers, trotters, rusty canterers and so on. We try our hardest to make sure every body gets to ride to their perceived ability.

 

Novice riders are most suited to either the steady walk and trot 1 hour ride to the woodland or both of the 1.5 hours rides.

 

The 1.5 hours rides are our most popular because we can accommodate all abilities. The 1.5 hour beach ride goes to Druidstone Haven - this peaceful and visually dramatic beach is situated just over a mile from the Stables, Druidstone is nationally renowned for it’s geological features and the ‘Telly Tubby House’ (you will only understand what this means by coming and seeing!). When the tide is right out there can be up to a mile of sand and we are able to ride on it all year round.

 

When the tide is in the, 1 and 1.5 hours rides head to our 35 acre private valley. This is a sheltered, peaceful area where foxes, badgers, rabbits and pheasants roam freely and sometimes may be spotted. We are lucky enough to have a pair of buzzards nesting high up on the valley sides, and it is not unknown for the rides to follow these stunning birds as they glide through the leafy glades and passages. Over the years we have carved paths following the contours of the valley, making it possible to take many different routes and tracks. Some of these cater for the more experienced rider by having small cross-country jumps while the other paths may be taken at a more relaxed pace.

 

The route for most 2.5 hours rides will take in Druidstone Haven, the wooded valley and the coastal track which takes you through lush pastureland overlooking the inlets of Nolton and Druidston - giving a bird’s eye view over St.Bride's Bay.  Out of high season we are able to ride on the beaches of Newgale and Broad Haven, these awe inspiring beaches offer up to 2 miles of sand when the tide is at is lowest. As well as riding over our own land, when the tides are in we can take a trip out along local bridle paths and common land. These rides are fascinating and offer an impressive alternative to our own coastal scenery.

 

We are also able to arrange lessons in our indoor school – this does depend on the time of year.

 

Day visitors can pop in to the stables or ring in advance to book onto our daily 1, 1.5 or 2.5 hours rides. Those who are staying with us, or in one of the villages self-catering cottages, have only a short walk to confirm their wishes. Our stables are fully certified and accredited and we are a Visit Wales Certified Activity Centre and members of the Wales Trekking and Riding Association.
