3 pony activities your 6-12 year old can enjoy

I don't just cater for infant children -

Here's a list of 3 things to do here for your 6-12 year old

Would your child enjoy a full day of pony fun? Pony days are from 10-4, cost from £32.50 and include a short ride, grooming, pony games and quizzes as well as a bit of pony theory and practical all based around looking after a pony.

Max 6 children per  group/pony  ensure plenty of interaction (questions!) with the group leader.

Perfect for pony mad kids and  kids who love ponies who don't go to riding school.

Absolutely NO riding experience necessary so great for even the least confident child!

This is an unaccompanied day so parents need not stay!!!


Our themed pony afternoons are really popular with the 2-10 age group - An hour and a half including pony pampering, short ride, themed art/craft and a lovely orchard walk to finish if time permits! ONLY £12.75 per child (no charge for adults).

Max 10 children per pony. Max 16 children per afternoon.


Want to bring between 1 and 3 children here for a private activity? No problem! Our pony experiences are an hour as standard but these can be stretched for older children.
Includes half an hour of pony pampering followed by a short ride each - usually around the orchard to see the owls nest!
For children too tall to ride - usually 11-14s (or on request for younger children) they can have a go at 'driving' a pony (minus the carriage ) - this is something most kids don't get to do and is quite a challenge!
Prices from £25 per child (based on 3 children on a 'manic monday')

So there's plenty for your junior/pre-teen to do here during the summer holidays!!!!

3. Pony Agility

Coming VERY soon!!! Yes it's like dog agility only much slower!!!

This is a test of understanding and relationship between handler and pony and gets people thinking about how to interact with their pony to get the best out of them - some good life skills there too me thinks!!

Children will be taught how to handle a pony correctly and safely before attempting the course.

More details to follow shortly!!!

Maybe not suitable for tiny tots!!!

Whatever the reason for your visit to Cheshire Pony Parties you will be greeted with a warm welcome and receive personal attention.

You will then be blown away when you see our tiny, gentle ponies, happily grazing in our idyllic orchard setting.

You/your child will enjoy a very special time here, with the emphasis on fun and confidence-building. No prior experience of ponies is required.

Yes your child will groom, pamper, decorate and ride one or more of our ponies, but a visit here is so much more than that-

You will learn some fascinating facts about ponies (ask me about their ears!) and their behaviour, plus hear some personal pony tales.

Some visitors tour our orchard and learn about a few of the many trees and animals in and around the orchard.

No wonder little visitors want to come back every day, or that we have people visiting from as far away as London.

Hoping for foals in 2012

Well spring is here and my big horse, Kandi is away at stud and will hopefully return in foal. Kandi herself is a very good 'stamp' of a horse (she was awarded a coveted 'premium foal' status at a 4 month old) and is absolutely beautiful. The father is short listed for the 2012 olympics!! We're hoping for a stunning (preferably girl foal!!) that will be amazing to ride!

At the other end of the scale Maisie, our smallest pony is likely to go to stud towards the end of May-how small is her foal going to be? Prize for the nearest answer (in cms please)! Maisie is literally half the height of Kandi and Kandi's foal will be bigger than Maisie when it's born!
