We hold various other activities on an occasional basis. These include:

 

(i) Own a pony days and half days, usually held during school holidays and half term. These provide an opportunity for riders to participate in basic horse care,

such as grooming, tacking up, mucking out etc. under supervision as well as including some additional riding instruction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii) Gymkhanas (mounted races and games): These range from walking and trotting races to potato and spoon race and ride and run.
