Bring your horse on holiday

Not only are dogs welcome at Sir Johns Hill Farm, but there are great facilities for horses too, with stabling and grazing both being available throughout the year.

There are 9.5 acres of grazing land at the farm, split between two large fields and seven paddocks, so you can be assured that your horse can have its own paddock, or just share with its friends.

There are five stables in two separate blocks. There are two stables and a tack room adjacent to the Old Stables cottage and a further three stables, feed room and tack room adjacent to Merlin Cottage. Four of the five stables have rubber matting and have either shavings or chopped straw beds on top of the matting.

A 20m x 20m all-weather arena has recently been constructed with a surface of sand and rubber chippings. The arena has been marked out for dressage tests and there are also a number of jumps. In the summer an outdoor dressage arena is also marked out. Riding lessons can be arranged with a local riding instructor at £10/hour.

The riding around Laugharne is enjoyable, but not taxing. There are some pleasant off-road rides where you can have a good long canter, and there are also plenty of quiet country lanes with spectacular views to hack around. Drivers in the area are very courteous, which helps to make hacking a very enjoyable experience around Laugharne. In addition there is the 7 mile stretch of Pendine beach along which to enjoy a very brisk gallop and paddle in the sea. Escorted rides can be arranged further afield, such as at Pembrey and Llawhaden.

There are opportunities to attend the many local shows, or join in the various fun rides organised by the riding clubs.

Guests are requested to bring their own hard feed, but hay/haylage can be purchased on arrival if required.

Visiting horses must have an up to date vaccination certificate. They must also have proof of insurance.
