Are you tired of holidays that promise relaxation but deliver only boredom? Fancy swapping your sun lounger for a saddle and your smartphone for a Shetland? Look no further than Living Energy Holidays, snuggled right at the foot of the Black Mountains – a spot so picturesque even the ponies are known to stop and take selfies (if only they had opposable thumbs).

Now, you might be asking, “But why Living Energy Holidays?” Well, let me trot out the facts: our neighbours, Tregoyd Mountain Riders, a mere four minute stroll away, that’s just enough time for your excitement to build but not enough for your tea to go cold, and more important the affordable accommodation we offer in our Living Energy Barn, Spring Barn, and Angel Cottage.

Whether you’re a seasoned equestrian, a nervous novice, or someone whose horse experience is limited to a childhood rocking horse, Tregoyd Mountain Riders have you covered. They offer everything from pony trekking to proper horse riding, all amidst the breath-taking scenery of the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons National Park. And with direct access to the mountains, you’ll be galloping (or gently ambling – we don’t judge) across open commons and hillsides from March right up to October. It’s basically a horse’s idea of a five-star resort!

Worried your toddler might prefer a teddy to a trek? Never fear! Whether your little ones, grown-ups, or in-betweeners are keen to learn, you can book a riding lesson to develop skills, boost confidence, or simply discover which end of the horse is which. It’s fun, it’s safe, and it’s guaranteed to leave you with stories to tell and probably a few hilarious photographs.

So, pack your boots, bring your sense of adventure (and maybe a carrot or two for bribing new four-legged friends), and prepare for a Welsh getaway that’s anything but ordinary.
