What’s included in Pony Share Membership
Your own pony every week – we will help you choose from our 19 well trained ponies. Then enjoy the same pony every week to make friends with.

What are the practicalities?
How Pony Share Membership works
- Come every week at the same time March – November (you can join at the start of a month)
- Enjoy a pony ride with your own pony and staff member to help you
- Parents can join in, or children can be left if 5+
- No need to worry about daily mucking out and feeding
- No bills for vets, feeding, stabling, foot trimming and equine dentist
Which pony will I have?
- We are very experienced at matching children with the perfect pony and you should have already received a recommendation for a suitable pony for you
- If you have any concerns, talk to Rosemary for advice or email the office
What if I can’t come?
- There are some flexible sessions included in all Pony Share Memberships to be used at times that suit you.
What happens in the winter?
- The ponies rest in the winter when it is cold, dark, and muddy, and you can rest too
- All winter pony bills and pony care are met by us.
Much easier than buying your own pony
- No pony buying cost or struggle to find the right pony
- Avoid costly mistakes by buying the wrong pony
- No experience is needed …we have plenty to share with you
- It costs much less than keeping your own pony. The British Horse Society survey quotes the average annual cost of just keeping a pony is £7,000.
