Our 2year old absolutely loved Rupert the pony. The pony care and ride session was the perfect recommendation for a first timer like our LO. Rupert was such a beautiful and gentle pony. The trek in the forest was very calming and serene, and all the horses and ponies looked very healthy, happy, and well cared for. LO wouldn’t stop talking about Rupert. She felt so comfortable and confident she wants to go back again. Looking forward to our next visit.

We took our 3yr old for her birthday, and first pony ride, and it was perfect. Paid online the morning of and turned up to a field of horses. We did wait around for a while not knowing what to do, but eventually ponies and young children came back from a walk.
Helmets are provided and fit our 3yr olds head fine. Our daughter's pony was Rupert who was friendly and allowed our daughter to have a great 20/30min pony trek through the woods.

wow!!! what beautiful set up. my little girls were so excited. enjoyed petting the ponies before their 30 minute hack.
such good calm well behaved ponies. school is lovely size. staff are so friendly not like a 'normal' horsey yard you would walk into and people are snotty to you, but here your not judged, and everyone so nice, stables are huge and clean, toilet facilities are fine. (your normal portaloo) seating area is super comfy, overall the activity was well organised and well laid out.
Thank you for making my little girls so happy on their last activity of the holidays, what a way to wrap up the holidays!! well recommended 100%

My little girl had her 7th birthday party here today and I’m completely blown away! It was by far the cheapest party we’ve hosted and by far the best! The ladies are absolutely lovely! We were told they don’t provide decorations etc for the cabin but we arrived to it fully decorated! All the children had the best time with the beautiful, well cared for pony’s! I honestly can not thank the staff here enough, all of our guests were so impressed! My children cannot wait to book some pony lessons!

I also booked the party extremely last minute! It was just the most seamless, easy party I’ve ever organised (we ordered pony cardboard lunch boxes from Amazon which the kids loved) and rented the cabin for an hour, which was perfect!

The party was just Absolutely brilliant, and the care and knowledge for the animals really showed which made me like the place even more!

Thanks so much!
