The following examples are just some of the regular activities we run during school holiday periods – a comprehensive list is published at least three weeks prior to the holiday period which you can also access via the online diary.
Own Your Own Pony
This is an extremely popular event and involves all the daily care required to look after your own pony. We start with bringing the ponies in from the field, grooming them, tacking them up and then the riding lesson itself. The day continues to be full of the practicalities of pony ownership – feeding, cleaning out the stable, washing manes and tails, cleaning tack, turning out your pony, etc.
Children are welcome from the age 4, they are fully supervised throughout the day and these days are suitable for any standard of rider.
These are full day activities and therefore children should bring a packed lunch and plenty of drinks with them.
