Littlemoor Equestrian Centre

Littlemoor Equestrian Centre in Carmarthen operates as a site of Gul Outdoor Therapy, delivering affordable riding and equine-assisted activities to more than 40 young people across Carmarthenshire. The centre works in partnership with local councils and schools, making its services accessible to children and young people who might not otherwise have the chance to work with horses. Sessions are shaped around the needs of younger riders, with a focus on building confidence and calm around ponies in a supportive setting.

The centre teaches children and runs a structured programme of riding lessons alongside equine therapy sessions. Young riders can also take part in activity days, school holiday camps and stable club sessions, which give regular opportunities to handle, groom and care for the ponies on site. Birthday parties are offered as another way for groups of children to spend time at the centre, with ponies and riding at the centre of the celebrations. Volunteering opportunities allow older participants and members of the local community to get involved with the day-to-day running of the yard.

Facilities centre on a working collection of ponies, used for both ridden sessions and ground-based equine-assisted activities. The centre holds an animal welfare licence (number 000017043), confirming that it meets the required standards for the care and welfare of its horses. Its therapeutic orientation sets it apart from a purely sport-focused riding school, with qualified input alongside the riding and stable management sessions.

Littlemoor Equestrian Centre is located at SA33 5HT in Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, within easy reach of the town and the surrounding rural communities of west Wales. Families, schools and councils can contact the centre directly to discuss lessons, therapy referrals, holiday camp dates or birthday party bookings.
