Horse Riding in Pembrokeshire

Horseriding in Pembrokeshire only needs to be tried once then you’ll be hooked. Pembrokeshire offers a diverse landscape for horse rides and horseriding holidays, from beach rides, to a network of rural lanes for hacking, and the Preseli Mountains for more challenging terrain. 
We are lucky enough to have two fantastic stables close to Newport which offer lessons and trekking.
