The Long Distance Walker Association is an Association of people with the common interest of walking long distances in rural, mountainous or moorland areas. By joining the LDWA, you will meet other like-minded long distance walkers and gain access to information on walking events and long distance walking routes from 10-100 miles all over the UK.

( I joined this group in 2007 with the mad notion of entering the 100 mile 48hour Mid Wales Challenge and yes I did do it along with 500 other mad contenders. It was one hell of an experience and I met the most amazing bunch of people. Fortunately I managed to complete the 100 miles in 38 hours, it was very tough as you ascended the equivalent of 31/2 Ben Nevis’s and the second day the wind and rain really tested you and took you in to the mind over matter sphere. I find that doing an odd challenge makes me appreciate my horse and what he fells like lugging us both up those step hills.)


If your interested in taking up Endurance this is the site for you whether you want to compete to a high level or just take part in the pleasure rides. They will give you information and contact details for your local group.

A useful site for horse riders living in the Carmarthenshire and surrounding area. They have worked very hard to re-open bridleways and organise quite a few rides through out the year.

The Western States Trail Ride, popularly called the Tevis Cup Ride, is the oldest modern day endurance ride, having been held annually since 1955. As such, it has been the inspiration and model for the most challenging endurance rides worldwide. If your into Endurance you’ll love this site.

Another very informative site on bare foot horses with plenty of photographs to learn from. This is a very interesting site.

A site set up by enthusiast Mili Peel who’s aim is to promote and publicise the Welsh Cob giving you information about the Breeding, Breeders/Studs, Events and all the News from the Show Ground to the Sales Rooms. Mili has also undertaken to completing a U.K Stud Guide as well as a European Stud Guide which was a mammoth task and is in the process of compiling a World wide Guide.

Suzanna lives amongst the major Welsh Pony and Cob breeders of Mid/West Wales and in so doing is able to provide a unique opportunity to the enthusiast to explore this area by staying in this wonderful old mill, rebuilt around 1900, it oozes character.

This site belongs to a good friend Suzanna whose love of the Welsh cobs is as mad as my love for Arabs. As well as being able to supply everything for the amateur to the professional show person, the Books and DVD’s give information about the Cob over decades and a real insight for the welsh cob and pony enthusiast.

A great little site if your looking for more breeding/family tree information about your horse.

The Crabbet Organisation aims to promote and perpetuate the influence of Arabian horses descended from those bred by Lady Anne and Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and their daughter Lady Wentworth at Crabbet Park and Sheykh Obeyd.

I met Janine in July (2008) I was in a dilemma over my horse Celti who was diagnosed with a serious illness and no money in the world was going to change the situation. My worry was not knowing when the time would be to put him down which was odd as I’m not new to putting a horse down or other animals even from a very young age. But with Celti it was different as he was one of the nicest, kindest being I have ever met and being allowed to be part of his short life was very special.

I was given Janine’s phone number and after a short conversation on the phone she came over within a few days from Rhyader for the day. Even though she was not able to ‘fix’ Celti what she told me about him and how he felt about his life and his life with me was amazing and also about all our other troop of horses as she communicated with them all. It was the most amazing day and an experience I will never forget and have since rung her on a number of other issues that have popped up. She is without doubt one of the most extraordinary, honest, down to earth gifted people I have been fortunate to meet. (and yes when the time came I did know).


On a very personal note I have only really been aware of Klaus Hempfling recently and I feel If we all had a little of what he had the world would be a very different place. I have seen his video and am in the middle of reading his book both called Dancing with Horses. I only hope I have the opportunity to meet him even if it means going over to the island of Lyo by Denmark. (If you go on his site try and read the editorials and there are some video clips)

The Path of the Horse documentary DVD is one woman's journey (Stormy May) to discover something valuable that had been lost. Where had the majesty and freedom of horses gone? Where had that connection she had with horses as a child gone? On her journey she met some of today's leading visionaries and teachers and learned how there is a new dawn in the way we can relate to horses, a new paradigm in horsemanship. For horse lovers everywhere, who want to discover the more enlightened and more effective way to communicate with your horse.

Through this site they organise teleseminars with guests by the panel of Alexander Nevzorov , Carolyn Resnick, Kim McElroy, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, Linda Kohanov, Stormy May


Based 7 miles south of Aberystwyth Alw Jenkins has invested in a 15.2hh Horse Simulator which allows the rider to do any thing from walk to flying changes (having had a go myself I think it’s the closest I will ever get to feeling I’m riding a Grand Prix dressage horse it was pretty amazing). It is fully interactive with a big screen allowing you to do different dressage test and ride ‘out in the park’. The Simulator will be a benefit from the beginner, build up fitness after injury, to improving your posture and manoeuvres without over ‘staying’ your own horse.

Simple System Ltd has proved that using a variety of natural fibre sources in conjunction with oil-bearing seeds, we can feed our horses without the use of cereals and molassed feeds. It really works! It is feeding horses as closely as possible to the way nature intended.

A fantastic site about Alexander Nevzorov who has revolutionised the mind of millions that the only true way to establish a relationship between horse and rider is with the horses consent and not against its will. Author of the book ‘The Horse Crucified and Risen’

This site is full of information and help for any one thinking of taking the leap in keeping their horses bare foot
