Join us for our residential riding holidays, which take place throughout July and August. Spend 5 days with your favorite pony! Children from all over the UK come to our Pony Camps, where they have the fantastic opportunity to try out various equestrian sports and enhance their riding and horsemanship skills. Visit our Children's Summer Camps page for more information. 

 Our mission is to inspire and empower young individuals to embrace the world of horseback riding and all the sports associated with it. We aim to cultivate a nurturing community where young riders can forge friendships, engage in social events, and hone their teamwork and leadership abilities.

Through our programs, we strive to educate our members on riding techniques, horsemanship, and the proper care and understanding of their equine companions. Our curriculum encompasses both practical skills and theoretical knowledge, covering topics such as horse health, nutrition, management, riding proficiency, and road safety.

We are dedicated to instilling the values of sportsmanship, citizenship, and loyalty in our members, fostering the development of strong character and self-discipline. Safety is paramount in all equestrian activities, and we emphasize the importance of responsible and respectful behavior toward horses and other animals.

Our organization provides opportunities for members to participate in competitions, earn badges, and progress through proficiency levels. We encourage our members to set personal goals and strive to reach their full potential, supporting them every step of the way.

If you have a pony of your own, you are able to join in with all the activities we provide using your own pony with centre plus membership. Some children keep their ponies in livery with us, some bring them from home. It is sometimes possible to loan a pony from Higher Farm, if you have time to ride more often than just the weekend pony club sessions.
