Summer Camp
Takes place throughout July and August. A whole week with your fave pony! Children join us from all over the country for our Pony Camps. You get a fantastic opportunity to try out loads of equestrian sports, and improve your riding and horsemanship. See our Childrens Holidays page for more info about camp.
Optional Training sessions
Take place every Saturday and Sunday. Three hours of riding, stable management and practical horse care. Older, more experienced children who have gained some of their certificates may be invited to stay for the day.
Pony Club Tests
Each member works at their own pace towards the various Pony Club Tests and achievement badges. Tests for each level are held regularly when there are enough members who are at standard. While working towards the D, D+, C and C+ standards, children have the opportunity to gain bronze, silver, gold and platinum certificates in riding and horsemanship, as they improve.
