Special activities are arranged every day during the school holidays. These include; Own Your Own Pony day's, Games Days, Kiddies Mornings, Half-day Hacks, Fun Days and Jumping or Dressage Clinics.

Our Own Your Own Pony Day is extremely popular and places are usually booked up well in advance. The day involves the children learning about the daily care of a pony, such as grooming, tacking up and mucking out as well of course as the riding.

Each child is allocated a riding school pony for the day to care for as their own.Firstly they bring the ponies in from the field and then groom and tack up ready for a riding lesson. After their lesson the children clean out the stables and make sure their ponies are comfortable.

After lunch the children have a ride out around our fields and once they return to the yard they spend the remainder of the day caring for their pony. This will include cleaning out stables, washing manes & tails, cleaning tack, feeding and turning out.

These days are suitable for all standards of rider. The children are fully supervised throughout the day

Kiddies Mornings are similar to Own Your Own Pony where the children learn the basics of pony care and also enjoy a ride. These sessions are aimed at the younger children that may not be able to stay for the whole day. On arrival at the yard the children help to groom and tack up their pony and then have either a riding lesson or a hack out around our fields. After their ride the children help to care for their ponies by helping with jobs such as mucking out, washing tails and cleaning saddles.

These sessions are suitable for children from aged 4

On Games Days children help bring in their ponies and then groom and tack up. They spend the morning playing mounted games such as Bending(weaving in & out of cans). Walk , Trot and lead & Potato Races (Carrying potatoes and dropping them in buckets) plus many more. After lunch the children race again to win rosettes.

Games Days are suitable for all standards of rider.

Our Fun Days are aimed at the more experienced rider. Children bring in their pony from the field and groom and tack up. The morning is spent playing gymkhana games and bare back riding. After lunch there is a waterjump session where the pupils learn to ride their pony into the water and then a round of Chase Me Charlie where whoever jumps the highest jump wins a rosette.

Riders must be able to trot, canter & jump quite capably to take part on the Fun Days

Others activities include Picnic Rides, Treasure Hunts, Half Day Hacks, Show jump Schooling and XC clinics.

All activities are advertised prior to each school holiday. If you would like the information e-mailing to you please send us your details or call the Centre on 07931 766207
