TRANS WALES TRAILS

    Welcome to the world of horse-back travel

      The Best Trail Riding Anywhere  

Black Mountains Trail is 6 days riding 7 nights accommodation. The programme runs Saturday - Saturday.  This trail is based at Cwmfforest and is suitable for Novice riders.

This trail will put you through your paces over the most varied of terrains. Mountain and moorland tracks, valleys and pasture land, we will take you through some of the most beautiful parts of the Welsh countryside at all paces!

We help to improve outdoor riding skills by using the right horse for the job. Our horses are suited to the rough, hilly but firm ground of mid-Wales. Thus a slow canter is more nimble and suitable than a fast trot on undulating ground.

Throughout the week guests learn horse sense and necessary skills. These include catching, grooming, tacking up and cleaning of their own individual horse. They also take care of their tack at the end of the rides. Daily routine involves preparing the horses for an 11 o'clock departure. We mount and find that riders are most relaxed after they have ridden all paces on their mounts. Their balance improves and the horses sort out their preferred order. We mostly ride in double file and as we trot into town everything stops for us. Cwmfforest Cobs are well known and respected throughout Mid-Wales.

Sunday to Friday we ride different trails each day between 8 and 15 miles a day and lunch at village inns or remote picnic sites high up in the Black Mountains - traveling further and faster each day returning back to Cwmfforest base in the evening.

You ride up and down steep slopes, cross lofty summits, wade rocky rivers, pass through dense woods and see the whole of wilderness Wales. Our cobs have fast acceleration, perfect handling and automatic survival instinct ... Running on grass and water - they're more environmentally friendly than any machine!

At the week's end you will a more relaxed, confident and knowledgeable rider be ready to try another of our longer and more challenging trails but away from base this time!

*Please note that on Wednesday evening the Cwmfforest Kitchen is Closed.  There are many restaurants and pubs locally which we are happy to recommend to you.  Evening meal on this night is not included in the trail package.*
