A horse holiday without your own horse: Stay at a hostel with its own equestrain centre.

If you want a riding holiday but don’t have your own horse, or don’t want to bring your own horse on holiday but still want to ride, then staying at a hostel on an equestrian centre will be the perfect solution. You can use the equestrian centre’s own horses and book onto their organised activities; trail rides, treks or lessons. The perfect solution for a great horse holiday without your own horse.

Springhill Farm on the north Welsh Borders is a BHS  (British Horse Society) approved equestrian centre offering trekking across some of the country’s most fantastic riding areas.  Or if you prefer you can have  flat or jumping lessons as well as, or instead of the trail rides.  Alternatively, on a small hill farm in  Brecon Beacons National Park, there is Tregoyd Mountain Riders. Also BHS approved, Tregoyd Mountain Riders offers trekking, trail riding and riding lessons.  The on site bunkhouse, Cadarn Bunkhouse, offers great value accommodation for your group of riders.
