Halloween Pumpkin Rides
It’s time for our Halloween Pumpkin Rides at Shetland Pony Club, but where are the ponies?
Let’s search the Ranch to see if we can find them for our Halloween Pumpkin Rides – now for children from 3 years old.
Shetland Pony Club is an award-winning Children’s Riding School in Cobham, Surrey, England. We have 22 Shetland ponies for children from age 3 to ride. Our horse riding is all led, with one-to-one helpers, so it’s fun and easy for everyone.
