Bridle Rides

bridlerides logo.gifBridle Rides arranges bridleway riding holidays for people with their own horses.

There are 17 different networks to choose from in England and Wales, which cover a variety of different countryside from the English Shires to more challenging areas like Exmoor and the North York Moors. You can either ride from one farmhouse to another, or choose a one-centre holiday with two or three day-rides out from the same base.

In Wales, we have a very popular Welsh Borders network, the bulk of which is in eastern Powys. We are planning to do some research riding in the Carmarthen/ Brechfa area this year, with the aim of opening a small new network either part way through 2007, or for the start of 2008. bridlerides pic.jpg
