Our Loops are popular two day/ 1 night horse riding breaks offering riders the opportunity to go deeper into the remote reaches of the Black Mountain. This is the Eastern area of the Brecon Beacons National Park, and is named after the endless stretches of heather that cover the commons, which look black from a distance.

HAY LOOP
After meeting your horse and tacking up at Blaenau, we track up through country lanes to the vast open commons of the Black Mountains, where you are likely to find yourself cantering alongside wild ponies and sheep!
For lunch, we either picnic in a comfortable grassy spot, or we drop down to a quaint and ancient inn.
Our destination is the fantastic and historic town of Hay-on-Wye, famous for its countless bookshops both new and secondhand. You’ll find a warm welcome at your bed&breakfast or small inn, and your luggage will be waiting for you. The horses stay overnight on the outskirts of the town.
In the morning, a full breakfast will set you up for the return leg of the journey to Blaenau – through the rolling foothills of the Black Mountains, offering long stretches for canters alongside beautiful views, before descending to the farm.
