Fantastic day with Pentre Riding Stables. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and patient. The horses were so lovely, calm and friendly. We were paired with horses that really matched us. The hack itself was brilliant. Well organised and the scenery was stunning! Highly recommend, will go back :)
