Pony fun for 8-14 year olds


I don't just cater for 2-10 year olds -

Here are 3 things that Cheshire Pony Parties can delight 8-14 year olds with this summer:

1. Pony experiences

An hour's fun catching, grooming, plaiting manes then attempting our obstacle course OR having a go at 'driving' a pony (but without the carriage)  - this is quite a challenge, especially negotiating our trees!!!
For 1-3 children from £45

Book here

2. Pony Club with Amanda

2 hour sessions providing a great introduction to being safe around ponies AND learning a little about their care. VERY hands on, no riding involved.
Perfect for anyone new to ponies plus
those who love ponies plus
those who perhaps are less confident riding but would love 'messing about' with ponies!
£22.50 per person per week (4 weeks with flexibility for hols!!)
Find out more
Book here

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!!!


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.

"Nobody does it like Cheshire Pony Parties does it."

My old horse looks like she may have another foal

Finally my 24 year old mare (who I've had since she was 5) looks like she has a healthy follicle which looks like I may get her in foal again-hurrah.
It's been a bit of a slow process-back and forth to Leahurst(the specialist equine hospital on the wirral) where Caroline argo has patiently watched her ovaries over about 8 weeks now. The first follicles weren't healthy and we had to wait for them to go their course but fingers crossed she'll be in foal this time next week to Rhondeo, a beautiful Hanoverian dressage horse owned by Suzanne Lavendera.
Then only another 11 months to go.
We also had our photo's taken today for the University's publications!
What a day.
