Adopt A Pony
Each rider has their own horse/pony to ride and care for on their holiday. A great chance to find out what it’s like to have your own!
Complete beginners to advanced riders welcome.
Stay for 1 week or more.
Over 100 horses and ponies suitable for all ages and abilities.
Small riding groups, determined by ability.
Competition Day
Each Friday is competition day.
Everyone gets a chance to win rosettes in tack & turnout, musical rides, show-jumping, gymkhana, dressage or cross country.
Friends and family are invited to watch the fun. Although competition day starts at 10 am, (with dressage and tack and turnout), most parents arrive at around 2 pm to watch the more spectator friendly show-jumping, cross-country and games.
A prize giving and barbecue (weather permitting) concludes the day (finishes around 6pm).
