GRANGE TREKKING CENTRE

A pony trekking holiday offers companionship, new interests, the opporunity to enjoy magnificent countryside and clean fresh air. And what is perhaps most important it's good fun. Pony Trekking is a combination of riding and seeing the countryside on horseback. The speed of the trek is governed by the person with the least experience, however there are many chances to trot, and canter, which can be accomplished by those wishing to do so. Just as the scale of the experience is unlimited so are the ages. Children the age of six are welcome as are the agile elderly both find the average trek well within their capabilities. Sturdy welsh ponies and cobs are used ranging from 12 to 16hh, which are hardy and surefooted and suitable for either children or adults, experienced or beginners.

In the Victorian farm guest house we have full central heating, sitting room with log fire, dining room, lounge with video (with a selection of videos, but you are welcome to bring your own). Each room has an en-suite shower, comfortable beds, vanity units and tea making facilities. There is also a separate bathroom, washroom and shower-room. The accommodation has been awarded Wales Tourist Board- One Star and the Grange is an Accredited Activity Centre insuring regular inspections of standards for your comfort and safety, for the accommodation and the horses. Any particular dislikes, diabetic, vegetarian, etc, please let us know when booking, a different meal is served each evening. Accommodation is available for those who do not wish to ride, but prefer walking or sightseeing, or are accompanying those taking part in trekking, you may if you wish do half walking or/and half trekking weeks. We would be pleased to provide local information. Also ideal as stop-off for Offas Dyke walkers (our own access to Hatteral Ridge and Offas Dyke). A Location for Pony Trekking is necessarily many miles from a town, and all that goes with town life. Therefore bring with you a supply of cigarettes, films, sun cream, etc.. and other personal necessities you may need. You are advised to bring warm clothing, jerseys etc.. long warm socks are very useful, wellingtons or strong walking shoes, a complete change in case of rain (we hope you won't need them).
