What an amazing experience we had here on Tuesday. I have not ridden since I was a child so very nervous but the 2 ladies who looked after me and my friends where so patient and kind. They made the whole experience very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this riding school

Wonderful hour spent here, we were 3 novice pensioners and the staff were great and guided us through what to do, inside first then out on the field 😀 Great experience

Lovely place, little hidden Welsh gem! Booked a ride out, which gave us stunning views of the local moors. Our horses were well behaved and not 'plods'. Our guide was very professional and made us feel safe throughout. Will be heading back!

We visited whilst on holiday in the area, the response to my enquiry was prompt and we were booked for the following day. My 6yr old daughter had never ridden before but the lovely ladies at Heart of Wales made me feel she was in safe hands. We both thoroughly enjoyed our 1 hour ride and my daughters love of horses has been firmly ignited! On a side note, when we had finished our lesson and we had dreaded car trouble, Billie and all the staff were so caring and helpful, our wait for help was over 6 hours and Billie ferried us to and from the village to have some food while we waited. Thank you :-)
