May Bank Holiday 2026
(Monday 4th May)

May Bank Holiday Fun!

This 4th May Bank Holiday why not join us for some outdoor fun and spend some time with our friendly ponies?  We have activities for children who are new to horse riding and regular riders alike!

How to Book

Activities for everyone:

Tots' Pony Hour - FULLY BOOKED

Monday 4 May 10 am – 11 am  |  Age 3 – 5 years  |  £38
We do have another Tots’ Pony Hour during May Half Term Break! (click here)

In this fun session for younger children, we will spend half an hour riding and half an hour on the ground, getting hands-on grooming and decorating our friendly ponies.  This is a great opportunity for children to have fun outside, learn new skills and gain confidence around horses.  Please wear wellies or boots for this activity as our stable yard has muddy and uneven surfaces and do bring a coat (and gloves if it is cold!)
Children may be accompanied by a maximum of 2 adults (no siblings or pushchairs please).  Accompanying adults must stay for the session.
