PONY WEEKS

These holidays are perfect for any child who has ever wanted to own a pony.  Each child is allocated their ‘own’ pony at the beginning of the week and they learn how to groom and care for their mount.  Children who have their own pony are welcome – they can bring it with them or ride ours.

There are two options to choose from - non-residential where children go home to their family each night, or residential where accommodation is provided in the quiet and beautiful village of Conistone.

Concentration all over his face!

Non-Residential

The day begins at 9am when the children collect their pony from the field and then groom and tack up before taking part in a lesson or going out for a ride.  A break for lunch then a short horse and pony care lecture with hands on experience before riding for a second time in the afternoon.  Then it’s time for tack cleaning with drink and biscuits before heading for home at approximately 4.30pm.  Grooming and pony care are marked and points are added up for the Best Turned Out Trophy at the end of the week.  Friday afternoon culminates in a gymkhana with plenty of fun and opportunities for all to win prizes.

Children must bring a packed lunch, and warm and waterproof clothing.  The week runs from Monday to Friday inclusive.

A deposit of £25 is required.

COST

MEMBERS - £160  NON-MEMBERS - £190

Residential

These weeks run from Sunday to Friday inclusive, following much the same programme of activities as the non-residential week.  Accommodation is provided in dormitories with care being provided by an enthusiastic team of adults who have plenty of experience in child care including a nurse.

Evening activities include going swimming, treasure trails and plenty of fun out of doors.  If the weather is wet, children may watch a video or play some indoor games.

It is not possible to accept non-residential members for this week.

This week is for Pony Club members ONLY.

A deposit of £50 is required.

COST

MEMBERS - £275

NB – On all weeks, where necessary, children will be split into groups of riding experience to ride, this is for their safety and enjoyment.  If this is an issue please discuss at time of booking.
