Equestrian Training Award win – we are thrilled to learn that Shetland Pony Club has won the Equestrian Training Provider of the Year 2023/4 Award for the South of England. Wow! The judges love how our ponies and team are well trained, and children are introduced to riding and ponies in a safe and gentle manner.
What the Judges said:
“Shetland Pony Club offers magical first rides for children on well-trained Shetland ponies in Surrey’s beautiful countryside, creating lifelong memories.”
Prestige Award
The judges from the Prestige Awards were particularly impressed by the Pony Club’s welcoming atmosphere that brings families and friends together. As parents and children explore the wildflower meadows surrounding the ranch on their Shetland pony, they witness the transformation of a child’s curiosity into a special bond with their very first pony.
