About Us

Who are we, and how did we start?

Tregoyd Trekking centre was started in 1958 by Mr E L & Mrs D G Jones. The idea grew from the success of pony trekking in Scotland which had not long started.  Mr. Jones who just started farming after getting married in 1955, and had moved away from his father’s farm to farm part of the Tregoyd Estate by himself, thought that this might be a great opportunity to develop a pony trekking business in the Brecon Beacons, Wales.

Mrs. Jones had a love of horses and the two of them worked hard to turn it into the success it is today.

Stocked with quality sure footed ponies and horses the business has developed into a highly popular place to come riding and trekking in the superb surroundings of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Their son Haydn Jones now runs the business and is supported by a team of qualified and knowledgeable staff. Since the business has been in Haydn's hands he has developed a successful  livery yard and riding school as well as building up the trekking to offer riding holiday packages.

The centre is accredited and inspected by Wales Trekking & Riding Association, the British Horse Society and Visit Wales and we are licensed and inspected by Powys County Council.
