School trips with a difference!

We're bringing learning to life!

Imagine your child applying classroom lessons in Maths and English to real life aspects of pony care .....
Well now they can, with the help of our miniature ponies as the subject!

Measuring, placing them in size order, multiplying, ratios, comprehensions, listening, reports and more.

Our outdoor workshops have been designed by a primary school teacher and are very closely linked to the national curriculum.

Learning couldn't be more fun!

School visits for September and October 2011 now being taken with introductory offer available

First miniature pony centre in Cheshire

It seems that Cheshire Pony Parties is the only miniature pony centre in Cheshire!

Your child will enjoy lots of hands on pony activities whilst they're here including grooming a pony PLUS he/she will get to ride one of our very gentle, child friendly ponies around our delightful orchard.

There's plenty more too with an educational orchard walk to learn about some of our trees including why we've got pears on our pear tree this year for the first time in 7 years-do you know why??? Sometimes we even try and find the fairies at the bottom of the orchard!

A visit here is very interactive-we don't just stand back in silence-I'm afraid I'm a bit of a talker and have LOTs of fascinating facts and pony tales to draw on from my life so far with horses and ponies, including some fascinating information about foals we've had-ask me!!I'm also quite happy to answer the many questions fired at me from inquiring minds!(young and not so young!)

So whether you're a native from Cheshire or just visiting Cheshire your child(ren) will thoroughly enjoy their private visit to meet the ponies. Just check out all the activities available on our website-

Pony experiences a popular summer holiday activity

Our miniature ponies are waiting to entertain your children this summer holiday!

We're the ONLY miniature pony centre in Cheshire!

Our hour long pony experiences are proving really popular - only £28.33 per child for 3 children, £32.50 per child for 2 children and £45 for 1 child. A wonderful hour of grooming, pampering, riding and answers for inquiring minds!

Alternatively gather a group of between 6 and 8 similar aged children for a private 90 minute session of grooming pampering riding plus orchard walk and pony quizz (if time permits!). Only £15.50 per child

Make a day of it by following on for a walk in Delamere Forest (only 10 mins away), a play down at Keslall play area (5 mins away) or a snack/lunch at Summertrees cafe at the top of the world (well the top of Kelsall Hill anyway!!)

Book into one of the times listed on the website (pony experience/90 minute session) or contact me to visit at another time.

Hope to see you soon!

Kandi finally in foal

Kandi, my 'big' horse has finally been scanned 15 days in foal at the third AI attempt. She's on medication to try and support the pregnancy for 3 months and she'll probably stay at Leahurst's Equine reproduction unit on the wirral until she's around 40 days-she'll be scanned again at 30 days. At around this time the foal has a strong enough hearbeat to survive minor stress of the mum-it's travelling Kandi home that we think has been the problem as she sweats badly and the rise in temperature can be too much for the foal!
I'm trying not to get too excited as it's still very early days (they're pregnant for 11 months!) but I'll feel a bit more confident at the 30 day scan.
She has a lovely hedged grassy field to return to and will live out with Georgie, my rather lively pony who is too exhuberant for pony party visitors!!!
I have had a sneaky peak at potential stallions to use next year if all goes well this year.
I'm just hoping all the effort that's gone into this foal will pay off, though you can't force mother nature!

Kids activities for the school holidays

Pony rides are only one of the pony themed activities kids can do at Cheshire Pony Parties during the school holidays-they can also groom and decorate a pony, attempt our obstacle course or have a go at 'driving' a pony (depending on age).
Our hour long pony experience is proving popular this summer holiday offering up to 3 children the opportunity to spend an exclusive hour here in our delightful orchard, meeting the ponies and having a pony ride on one of the ponies.
Children as young as 2 can come and have a pony ride here and we can entertain children up to the age of 12.
