Pony fun for 2-10 year olds in Cheshire

Come and experience a gentle introduction to ponies with Amanda, described as the lovely lady who makes little peoples' dreams come true, in her idyllic orchard with her tiny, gentle ponies.

Your 2 and 3 year old can get involved here as we're insured for children as young as 2 to groom and ride a pony.

Themed pony afternoons
We're running a series of themed pony open afternoons 2-3.30 various dates over the summer holidays.
Themes include fairies, flowers, princesses and knights (and shortly a frozen theme - yeah!)
Your child will love decorating the pony with ribbons and stickers, have a short ride, enjoy some themed craft eg crown making, flower decorating etc and take a wander around our orchard to look at the owls nest or see if the apples are ripe or look at different flowers in the orchard.
At £12.75 per child these are very well received by children parents and grandparents!

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.

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-
