The Gables small holding offers excellent equine facilities. Our ever popular 'Equine Escapes' deal is an all-inclusive package for small groups of up to 6 people. You simply arrive with your horse (and alcohol) and spend a few days enjoying fabulous food, cooked from scratch and served around a friendly dining table.​

Rider comfort is paramount to us!
​You can be assured that our rooms are of the highest standard with underfloor heating, comfortable beds and  bathrooms with power showers.  
​And a large American Hot Tub is available all year round.

Riders bringing their own horses have use of our safe, well sheltered  paddocks for turnout, as well as a secure tack room and ample parking. We have 3 large fields available for 6 guest horses which can easily be divided with electric fencing if necessary. The quality of grazing is rarely lush and most horses live out happily for the duration of their stay.

​​For those of you who need a stable, we have 2 traditional 12x12 stables and 2 large loose boxes, which need to be booked in advance. Each has a basic bedding of shredded cardboard included. There is also an option to purchase hay and shavings.

As riders ourselves, we can tell you that Halkyn Mountain is a great place to ride. There’s something for everyone, from gentle hacks on safe, well established tracks to ‘full on’ galloping over open country with complete freedom from traffic. And for those riders who may be apprehensive about hacking out in an unknown area, we can confidently assure you that the mountain is very easy to navigate. You do not need to be skilled in map reading or orienteering. We provide a simple map with easy to spot landmarks and no one has managed to get lost so far!​

If you're planning to stay longer there's plenty more riding in the local area. There's Talacre beach where you can access 5 miles of sandy beach and join the BHS North to South Bridleway. Mostyn Farm Ride, with its XC jumps and interesting trails through fields and woodland, is a short drive away and there are many local Fun Rides running across the year, including those organised by the Flint and Denbigh Hunt.

For those of you who are closer or who maybe just want a 'taster' experience, we also offer 'Day Rides'.
 Coffee and cake on arrival. Secure parking and use of our facilities with a simple map and information on the mountain, followed by a sumptuous two course Lunch while your horses graze in our field.
Please contact us directly to book this to avoid any disappointment, especially during peak times! ​
