The home of the U.K.’s only coastal National Park, redolent with history from Iron Age man, the Vikings, the Romans and the Normans. Untouched by industry, motorways or shopping malls, Pembrokeshire offers the visitor small busy market towns, quiet roads, welcoming beaches and a varied and beautiful countryside where attractions and activities blend with their surroundings making it ideal for short breaks and horse riding holidays. Whatever your reason for visiting, be it rest and relaxation or the need to be entertained, Pembrokeshire will meet your needs – and leave you wanting to return. Only 4 hours from London or Manchester and you will step into another world, where the air is fresh and clean, the locals friendly and welcoming, and even the motorists are courteous. The mild climate allows for horse riding holidays all year round – think of Camelot – that’s Pembrokeshire! A county of contrasts, from the Preseli Hills in the north, the beautiful Gwaun Valley (where New Year is celebrated on January 13th!), to the fertile lowlands of the south with its ancient forests and woodlands. Blessed with a variety of beaches from the safe and secluded to those that challenge surfers, with offshore islands harbouring colonies of Puffins and other sea birds, and in whose seas you can watch seals, porpoises and dolphins. Caldey Island, the home of a Cistercian Monastery who produce their own perfume and chocolate, Fishguard, now a major ferry port, but also the site of the last attempted invasion by the French just over 200 years ago. Wherever you go in Pembrokeshire you will marvel at the beauty and history. St David’s, the smallest city in Britain with its lovely 6th Century Cathedral – built in a hollow to hide it from sea borne invaders. Pembroke Castle, once a Norman stronghold and later the birthplace of Henry VII, founder of the Tudor dynasty. Amroth and Wisemans Bridge where GeneralEisenhower and Mr Winston Churchill stood on the beach watching the D-Day rehearsals in 1944. Now, Pembrokeshire welcomes visitors of another kind, those seeking a break from the stress of everyday life, an escape from traffic jams and crowded streets. Not just ideal for horse riding holidays but also for short breaks and many other outdoor activities. Come and see for yourself – you won’t be disappointed. About Us For over 40 years the Weaver family have owned and loved horses. Not a casual or passing love affair, but a deep passion for everything equestrian. From their first pony (an Irish utility) Silver Melody in 1963 to their present day complement of 27 (4 of whom are pensioners and live out their remaining years in peace and comfort), their lives have revolved around horses. Known as the stables that never sell, they moved to Pembrokeshire in 1989 and set about passing on this love of horses. Since then, they have taught several generations of children (and adults!) not only to ride, but to love and respect their mounts. Now, based on their own riding holiday experiences, they have put together 2 day, 3 day and a full week holiday where the emphasis is on riding coupled with comfortable accommodation, good food and evening entertainments at a fully inclusive price. Aimed at competent adult riders only (minimum age 17) each group of 6 riders and escorts take a different route each day, covering varied terrain at all paces stopping for lunch at a local farmhouse or Inn. On the 3 day and the full week you have the option of an afternoon beach or country park ride. If your idea of a riding holiday is a crocodile of mixed ability adults and children, mooching along for an hour or so a day – then Pembrokeshire Riding Holidays is NOT for you! Still interested? Then read on……… Our horses are carefully selected and trained for your pleasure. We have a selection of 11 fit forward going horses that will carry you over the various terrains at all paces. Here are their details……….we hope you will love them as much as we do! Saracen 16.2, a full Shire, black, known to us as Treacle because he’s sweet but thick! Saturn 15.2, Hanoverian X Cob, Dun, can be a spirited ride, but is tractable. Sirius 16.2, Thoroughbred, Bay, everyone says he’s a honey to ride. Sonnet 14.3, Thoroughbred X, Bay, a lively ride, but totally reliable Salote 15.2, Shire X Thoroughbred, Black, a lady in all respects. Simba 16.2, Anglo Arab, Chestnut, the perfect gentleman Socrates 15.3, Irish Sports, Chestnut, still a baby, but well mannered with it.

These, together with old drovers trails, smugglers paths and quiet bye ways lend themselves to full days on horseback. We take you through woodlands, ancient forests and over open countryside, traversing the Knights Way, discovering small pretty villages that took their names from Norman knights nearly a thousand years ago. Each route has been carefully researched so that you, our guests, can experience a variety of terrains and travel at various paces. The optional beach ride, on the full week and 3 day break, takes place at Pembrey and is guaranteed to blow the cobwebs away! All lunches when riding are taken at a local farm or country Inn where fresh local produce is used. You may, if you wish, groom and tack up your own horse each day.
