Riding Programme

The boys are back in (Kentish) Town!

Pony Club is back!

Places for the Christmas term of Pony Club have now gone. If you were unable to get a place, please fill out our waitlist form here.

Pony Club is for children and Young People aged 8-16. We have a strict weight limit of 85kg.

Each week we will be learning how to ride with Horace and Teddy, horse care and grooming, safe handling, and stable management.

We will be running every Tuesday – Friday, 3:45pm – 5pm. Each day we will have four places available, two mainstream and two discounted places for those able to prove Universal Credit status.

Mainstream bookings are for each term. UC status bookings will be able to book for a half term, and then have first refusal for the second half of term. All weeks must be booked and paid for in advance.

Mainstream places are £30 per session, UC places are £15 per session.

Please do not book your child on more than one day a week – spaces are extremely limited and we want as many children as possible to enjoy the club.

Please note that Pony Club is not suitable for those with Complex SEND/physical needs. Participants must be able to mount, sit, and ride independently of instructor assistance and follow instructions. They must also be able to work independently on the yard.

For those children who need more assistance in their learning, our RDA sessions will be starting back up in November! Keep an eye on our website and social media for upcoming information!

Please note that we have very simple Ts&Cs for this programme, To secure a child’s place, parents must agree to volunteer twice per term for the farm. This will either be two sessions on our Friends of the Farm stall (on the yard during weekends), or one stall session and one event session (May Day, Apple Day, Christmas Fair). Any child who is significantly late or misses sessions more than three times, will have their space cancelled and given to the next child on the waitlist. Should you cancel your child’s place partway through term, refunds will only be given for weeks where we are able to fill the space.

We are introducing these in order to help support the farm, and to ensure that empty places are not being held by children who are not committed to the programme, when we have such a long waitlist.
