Jade was outstanding with her knowledge of the area and the horses under her care. We were matched perfectly with our trusty steeds! Would thoroughly recommend Cantref.
Heidi Willie
Amazing experience! I visited here with a group of friends. The ride was incredibly scenic; taking us through the hills and fields with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. The staff were very friendly and clearly experienced, giving us clear instructions throughout the ride to keep us safe and happy. Great fun and would recommend you do it too!
Zade
We had a fantastic time riding in the mountains. We wanted something special to show our Australian friend her first visit in Wales and what a way to do it! We had a great time. Our instructor was fantastic and the horses were gorgeous. We were on the 3 brothers and loved them and the day. Highly recommend, will definitely come back. Thank you so much. (We made use of the hats and boots provided too!)
