Every child starts somewhere and for some, a full day can feel like a big step!

If your child is new to ponies, a little younger or feeling unsure in new environments, our Pony Taster Day offers a calm and confidence-building introduction. This shorter, 2 hour experience is designed to gently ease children into pony care at their own pace, with hands-on activities such as meeting the ponies, grooming and simple stable tasks, all delivered in a supportive and reassuring environment.

Parents are also very welcome to stay, helping children feel comfortable and confident throughout.

It’s the perfect first step before progressing onto an Own a Pony Day, helping your child feel relaxed, capable, and excited for a full day experience in the future.
