I'm not sure I'd bother with HSRP in this case, if I understand it properly (possible that I don't).
They have 2 routers (A & B), each with a loopback (assumedly the IPs they want you to peer with), they have 2 switches, and then there's your 2 routers (Y & Z). Your routers and their routers each have 1 of the IPs from the /29 you're using. You should be able to simply have a static route on Y pointing to A's loopback, and on Z pointing to B's loopback, (next-hop being their side of the /29). Y would then establish a BGP session to A, and Z to B (2 sessions total). Alternatively, Y could establish a session to A *and* B, and so could Z (4 sessions total, requires another static route on Y & Z), which would provide a bit more redundancy. It's late on a Friday afternoon and I could be absent minded, but I can't see how HSRP would help me in this topology if I'm doing BGP as well.
