Children’s Riding & Equine Care Club
Kentish Town City Farm Pony Club has been providing children with an opportunity to learn about horse care and develop riding skills for nearly 50 years.
To be eligible to apply children must be aged 8 to 15 years and able to provide proof of residency in the London Borough of Camden.
Pony Club Applications
There are two routes into becoming a Pony Club Member – either by joining our waiting list or through membership of KTCF Young Farmers Club.
Pony Club Waiting List: Due to the popularity of Pony Club, applicants can expect to wait up to 2 years before being offered a place, so an early application is recommended. Children must be a minimum of 8 years old to apply. To join our Pony Club waiting list email: info@ktcityfarm.org.uk
KTCF Young Farmer Club: Another route to join Pony Club is by active participation in our Young Farmers Club. Children who are members of Young Farmers for over a year are offered priority places in Pony Club.
Pony Club Membership
Pony Club sessions are weekly during term time and last for 1 hour. Each session is divided into 30 mins of riding skills and 30 mins of pony care skills. Pony Club members must be able to get to the farm for 3:50pm promptly. We can provide boots and hats as necessary.
Membership lasts for two years.
Cost: Pony Club costs £15 or £5 concessionary rate per week.
Pony Club is sponsored by the London Borough of Camden
