Memberships
There are two types of pony memberships to enjoy:
- Pony Membership – a pony of your own each week, 2 hours, from age 4+
- Mini Membership – a pony of your own each week, 45 minutes, from age 3+
What’s included in Pony Share Membership
Your own pony every week
– we will help you choose from our 18 well-trained ponies. Then enjoy the same pony every week to make friends with.
*Mini Members learn simple age-appropriate “pony pointers” whilst Pony Members learn pony care, grooming, tacking up, safety, leading, tack cleaning, paddock care and horse whispering.
What are the practicalities?

- You may already have a favourite and if he is free he can be guaranteed for you when you join as a member
- Talk to Rosemary for advice on which pony may be best or email the office

What if I can’t come?
