Freerein Riding Holidays runs multi-day trail riding breaks in Mid Wales from a yard at Clyro Court near Hay-on-Wye in Powys. Riders can choose between guided trail riding holidays, self-guided trail riding holidays, and a learn-to-ride trail option aimed at those new to riding in open country. Private guide hire is also available for small groups or individuals who want a tailored route through the Welsh hills.
The school caters to a wide range of ability levels. Beginners are taught on the yard before heading out, and more experienced riders can take on longer routes through the surrounding countryside. Hacking and trekking are the core disciplines, with rides planned across varying terrain to suit the group on the day. The learn-to-ride trail gives novices a structured introduction to riding out on the trail rather than in an arena.
Horses and ponies are kept at the home yard at Clyro Court, and the surrounding landscape of the Wye Valley and the Radnorshire hills provides the setting for most rides. On-site accommodation is offered, allowing guests to stay at or near the yard during their holiday. Riders planning their own routes can hire horses with tack and saddlebags, while those preferring company on the trail book onto one of the guided itineraries.
Freerein Riding Holidays is licensed and operates as a working trail riding centre rather than a traditional lesson-only school. Prices for guided two-day trail riding holidays start from £782 per person on an all-inclusive basis, which covers the horse, guide and accommodation.
