Creating childhood memories

Pony Play Group

Surround yourselves with
'Pony Goodness' and time in the country

Six years ago, we decided that children aged 2-4 years needed the opportunity to have a group of their own to learn about, ride and be with ponies on a regular basis. What a joy it has been to see how this initiative has grown.

Pony Play Group will

introduce your child to ponies and riding
help build confidence and balance
give children the opportunity to interact with each other & animals
teach your children empathy towards each other and our ponies
give children time in the country

We offer a caring and supportive professional environment. Our ponies are the perfect size for small children. Whether you come once or regularly on a Concession, Pony Play Group is a wonderful experience.

Lovely for parents or grandparents who crave pony contact or would like to share an experience with their child. It is a win-win for parents and children. Pony Play Group is peaceful and calming, quite unlike any Play Group!

Testimonials

My Son who started Pony Play Group was only two at the time and I was unsure if he would like it. From our first visit, he showed such bravery and confidence and absolutely LOVED the ponies! It was a wonderful experience and all the effort that is put in. Love the bubble machine and the warm coffee and the friendly staff. A big thank you to you and your team!

Wonderful place adored by both my daughter and myself. We love Kathryn; we love the ponies, Bailey the Bunny and the gorgeous barn that has such lovely little touches everywhere. We never want to leave after pony playgroup!!
