About this yard

Grange Trekking Centre sits on the southern edge of the Black Mountains near Abergavenny, running guided trail rides on prize-winning Welsh Cobs through some of the finest upland country in Wales. The centre caters to all abilities from complete beginners to experienced riders wanting serious days in the saddle. Accommodation options run from a shepherd's hut and glamping pods through to full B&B in the riverside guesthouse, which has a wood-burning fire and the kind of breakfast that justifies five hours on a horse. Week-long packages include five full days of trekking with packed lunches, covering the Skirrid, Sugar Loaf, the Blorenge and the Black Mountain ridges. Weekend packages offer two full days of riding with two nights' accommodation and meals. Individual rides by the hour, half-day or full day are available throughout the season. Established in 1957, the centre keeps around 30 Welsh cobs and ponies and is accredited by the Wales Trekking and Riding Association, AALA, Visit Wales and Powys County Council.
