Sunset charity walk with the Shetland Ponies

 Our first sunset charity walk with the Shetland Ponies is finally here. The ponies are surprised to be going out in the evening. Let’s find out how they get on in this week’s video.

Guests arrive

With so many guests supporting our first-ever Sunset charity walk with the Shetland ponies, all 21 ponies join in and help us support Cancer Research UK.

Meeting our ponies and learning to walk them

There’s a few simple rules to learn about brushing and walking with the ponies, then we are off around the meadows.

Wildflowers and pony walking

Everyone does really well walking with their ponies and the weather is balmy and warm. We stroll through the wildflower meadows and finish in the long grass on Sunset Ridge to enjoy drinks and nibbles – just a perfect summer’s evening.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our Sunset Charity Walk with the Shetland Ponies in aid of Cancer Research.

Enjoy the film here.

Shetland Pony Horse Whispering

 See availability update below

It’s Horse Whispering Day at Shetland Pony Club Summer Day Camp. Let’s learn more about it in this week’s video.

Learning to use the round pen

The children start by watching Rosemary as she shows them how we train our ponies in natural horsemanship, using a special Shetland Pony-sized cage called a round pen.

Rosemary is in the round pen with Shetland Pony Mufasa.  She sends him away as he would in the wild and after a while, he stops and licks and chews his lips.

Is Mufasa good at Horse Whispering?

Can Rosemary get Mufasa to understand her?  Will he follow her and stop and start when she does in the round pen?

Shetland Pony Tricks

Rosemary teaches the children to use carrot sticks, which are not whips.  They help to get the pony to move around. Soon the children have the ponies standing on logs.  Which pony is the best at this?

Watch the video to find out more.
