For Kids
As well as offering riding lessons for all levels (beginner to advanced riders), we also offer activities that are suitable for children aged 5-16 years. Hats and boots are available for hire if needed.
For more information about any of our activities for kids call the stables on 020 8546 3616.
Own a Pony Day/Half Day
The chance for your child to look after, ride and groom their favourite pony! These days are always very popular with our younger riders and provide a great introduction to the hard work – and fun – of having a pony of their own.
Own-a-Pony days run Tuesday to Friday – call for more information on 020 8546 3616.
Pony birthday party
We can help plan the perfect party for pony-mad kids. Parties typically run for two hours and include a fun ride out after which the kids are taught how to look after their pony.
Parents are also welcome to bring a cake and presents for the kids to open at the party. Contact the yard to discuss ideas and costs.
Other options for kids
