Pony Day/Week
Our “Own Your Own Pony” days/weeks are a magical and educational experience designed especially for children and young riders who dream of having a pony of their own.

Each child is paired with one of our friendly, well-trained ponies for the day. Under the guidance of our experienced staff, they’ll learn how to groom and care for their pony, tack up correctly and safely, feed, water and muck out their pony, ride in a structured lesson tailored to their ability and build confidence through fun, interactive activities.
​
hey’re perfect for school holidays and are a great way to see if pony ownership might be right for your child in the future.
We welcome riders of all levels, and safety is always our top priority. Spaces are limited so early booking is recommended!
