⭐️🐴⭐️ SUMMER OPEN MORNING SUNDAY 12th JULY ⭐️🐴⭐️
Brilliant opportunity to come and meet our team of gorgeous ponies and see what we do here at Pony Magic. We are offering 3 time slots to book a trial ride, starting in the arena to try some basic riding skills then off to the woods for a photo opportunity, collect a sweet treat and rosette! Suitable for children aged 2-8. Hopefully making some special memories!

You can also try grooming a pony, our quiz trail and colouring competition! Tea/Coffee Biscuits to purchase in reception and our little shop will be open selling Uvex Kiddox hats, crafty ponies, toddler boots and more. Julia will be available in reception ready to answer any questions you may have about parties, riding sessions etc.

£20 per child. Experience to last up to 1 hour from time booked.

⭐️⭐️IMPORTANT INFORMATION POST⭐️⭐️
You may have noticed recently that details of our property which is for sale have been circulating on social media, unfortunately various rumours have been doing the rounds so I would like to clarify, PONY MAGIC IS NOT FOR SALE!!! You can book with confidence as we use online booking and I have set up the system to allow booking up to 3 months in advance, in the event of a sale transaction this will be carefully managed to ensure all bookings take place. Our property can be purchased as a wonderful family home or there is potential for another commercial equestrian business but Pony Magic is NOT included.
In fact we are busier than ever with new activities in the pipeline and new ponies! Will share more detail in another post soon.
Just one more thing to confuse you all before I sign off ….i am reverting back to my maiden name of Padwick, need a new passport and been divorced for years so it seemed like the right time!
So to sum up then I am Julia Padwick (used to be Coles) the owner of Pony Magic which is NOT for sale, business as usual 😂 Thank you.

🐴 WANTED Can anyone help please?
Yep I know we are called “Pony Magic” but I am looking for a “Horse” to join the team! Some children have ridden with us for many years and wish to continue but have outgrown our biggest pony and now age 25 he is taking things more slowly. We also know a few mums keen to get back riding!
I am looking to loan, lwvtb, buy or will consider a working livery arrangement, ideally a cob/chunky type gelding 15-15.2hh that would enjoy plenty of turnout, low intensity work in the arena to include a little jumping (always under my teaching) and hacking out in the countryside for variety!
Can offer an experienced, caring home and hold a 5* riding school/animal welfare license, we are also a BHS approved centre.
If you know of a horse that may suit please get in touch, contact details on our website at www.ponymagic.co.uk 🐴 Thanks Julia
