Own a Pony

Description

Do you have horse crazy kids? We are offering an opportunity for your child/children to experience an 'Own a Pony' for a day during the holidays. A small group is offered with a maximum of 4 children to enhance their overall experience.
We have safe and gentle ponies to cater to your children's needs. Each child will choose their own pony to work/play alongside for the duration of the programme. This helps them build their confidence with the ponies and also learn about what it involves when owning a pony.
With hands on approach we will teach the children the basics they need to know about owning a pony such as catching, grooming, tacking up and learning about the health of the pony. We will even have a visit from a farrier to trim to ponies hooves. The children will have basic riding instruction before heading off on a fun trek on the ponies. Painting the ponies (if weather allows) and plaiting manes and tails along with new found friends is a great way to finish off their day before covering the ponies and feeding them some treats. Each child will receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the day.
A great all-round experience for the kids to meet new friends and experience owning a pony for a day. We will provide the children with morning tea, juice and pizza lunch.
