Nature and Outdoor

Our activity is for disabled children and young people to spend a morning with ponies. You will try the exciting sport of pony driving, with a professional trainer who will teach and show you how to drive a pony. We will ask you to wear a hard hat when on the carriage with your trainer. We have carriages that are accessible if you are a wheelchair user or have poor mobility. If the weather is bad, we do pony driving in a covered arena. If you would like you can also try grooming a pony and meet the other animals who live there.
