caeiago horse riding centre 2 Day Trail Ride

Caeiago Horse Riding Centre has Free Internet Wifi access for all guests

A Trail ride is a ride where we stay away overnight as opposed to returning to the centre allowing us to venture further into the more remote areas of the Cambrian mountains giving us the opportunity to experience some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK.

Due to unpredictable weather conditions and length of day, we only run trail rides from early May to late September. Your luggage will be transferred by us and waiting for you on your arrival.

Before we are able to run a trail ride there has to be a minimum of six people booked in. Therefore if you are not coming in a group you can either start a trail ride up yourself, which we will then endeavour to fill up to the required number or join one that has already been started.

As we spend up to six hours in the saddle per day (plus breaks) and the terrain is slightly more demanding you must be a fit and competent rider before you consider a trail ride.

We stay in the picturesque village of CILYCWM which is tucked away in the beautiful Upper Towy Valley. Nearby is the Neuadd Arms pub, where good food and a good drink in great company can be enjoyed.
