Gwydir Stables

Formally ‘Ty coch farm’, we rang them on Tuesday and managed to book 3 places for the next day! (which we later found out was amazingly lucky because basically the whole of August was booked up by mid June!)
We were told that the sat nav wouldnt know the way so they gave us directions — we didnt get lost, so good directions!
When we pulled up we were greeted by a tiny 6 year old girl who was covered in mud, she told us where to go and who we needed to talk to. We each filled out a form with our details (at the bottom of the form theres a tick list, and you just tick all the things you want to do on your ridewalking, trotting, jumping etc.) after that a lady sorted us all out with helmets and we watched a little demo of how to get on and off while we waited for our horses to come out.
My sisters horse came out first, tall and white, male, called Paddy. He’s 33 years old.
Next was my horse, female, called Maisy, and she’s a beautiful dark brown!
I dont remember what my mums horse is called, but thats because I didnt see them for more than half an hour in a half day of riding! My horse was so keen to stay right at the front and my mums horse was happy to just plod along and stop to eat any greenery any chance it got!
The ride was amazing, the weather wasnt the best so we couldnt see the tops of the mountains but the views were still brilliant. The lady that joined us on the ride (oops! Ive forgotten her name too!) she was lovely too. Really friendly and chatty. She told us all about our horses, aparently they have been used as extra’s in films and TV productions (most recently in some BBC programme about Queen Elizabeth).
I’d highly recommend this place to anybody who fancies a horse ride. They cater for everybody! From a total novice to experienced riders they will have a suitable horse, a friendly intructor and the appropriate trails and tracks for you to follow.
