So last year we noticed on various groups quite a few posts of people looking for one night stopovers arriving on horseback. Hence we are now offering a different accommodation package (as well as our current offering) for those looking to stopover on part of a long distance trek on horseback. This includes stay for you and your horse, a three course evening meal, breakfast the next day and a packed lunch for your travels. Should anyone on our page be interested in this, please do get in touch.

So our local town has just been certified as the first dark skies community in Wales and England! On a clear night the stars are something else here.

Happy New year everyone!! 🥳

Just wanting to share some love. Our friends at The Cornmill Stud - Rocky Mountain Horses have some gorgeous older pure bred and part bred Rocky’s for sale. Our money would be on Numi! Chunky and 4yrs old with a fabulous temperament and liberty trained. Anyone that’s met Sam’s mare Indy will know what a fab breed they are with their super smooth gait and wonderful temperaments. Built for long distance. If you’re looking for your new best friend, maybe one would be worth your consideration. 😉

Being that Sam‘s family are European, we also celebrate Christmas Eve. So Happy Christmas to all our past and future guests! We hope you have a lovely festive season. We look forward to seeing you in 2024! Ps. Look who visited last night. 😜🥰🦌🎄
