Whatever the weather, join us for fun activities this February half term, for new and existing riders: We have a fully covered indoor arena in addition to our outdoor school, so wrap up warm and come along! There’s activities for children who are new to horse riding, like Led Hacks and Pony Hours, as well as Ridden Pony Games and Ride and Care for our regular riders. We also have 3 Pony & Activities Camp days which are open to all!
Monday 16 February | 10 am – 10.30 am | 10.45 am – 11.15 am | Age 3 – 14 years | £33
Meet our friendly ponies and join us for a gentle Led Hack around the perimeter of the Equestrian Centre.
This activity is suitable for beginners and parents are welcome to join us for the walk, but please, no pushchairs or siblings walking alongside for safety reasons.
How to book.
Friday 20 February | 2 pm – 3 pm | 3.15 pm – 4.15 pm | Age 4 – 12 years | £38
In this fun session children spend half an hour riding and half an hour getting hands-on on the yard learning more about ponies and pony-care. 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) or can be left for the session.
This activity is ideal for beginners.
