For anyone who is not familiar with our pony days below are a few frequently asked questions...
Q) Does my child need to be able to ride ?
A) No, pony days are suitable for riders of all abilities. Even children who have never ridden before.
Q) Is there a minimum age limit ?
A) Our pony days are aimed at children of primary school age. Although we don't have a minimum age limit for riding lessons we do recommend 4 years old for pony days as they can be quite full on so real littlies do tend to get tired.
Q) What does a pony day involve ?
A) Typical pony day activities include mucking out, grooming, feeding and watering the ponies, learning different aspects of horse care, games, quizzes and creative activities and fun riding sessions, usually little obstacle courses and/or gymkhana games.
Q) Do parents have to stay with their children ?
A) No parents don't stay but we can assure you that your children are in safe hands. Kelly and myself stay with the children all day. The children are never left unattended.
Q) What will my child need ?
A) Your child will need to dress appropriate for the weather (sun cream and sun hats if warm weather, waterproofs if rainy) and footwear suitable for riding (if not riding boots something with a slight heel ie wellies or boots, NOT TRAINERS) children will also need a pack lunch, perhaps with extra drinks if warm weather.
