It’s Horsey Halloween and we see what’s scaring the Shetland ponies this week? Is it the Pony Pumpkins, or something else?
Pony Pumpkins for Horsey Halloween at Shetland Pony Club
There are some amazing Pony Pumpkins that have been carved by our team for Horsey Halloween at Shetland Pony Club. I wonder if that’s what is scaring the ponies as the sun goes down at The Ranch?
Night-time animals come out to play
As the moon comes up, the ponies start to play and lots of night-time animals come out too. There are bats and a badger that join the ponies under the full moon.
Something scary for Shetland ponies
Something has frightened the ponies and they are running away. What could be so scary?

Beware, it’s Horsey Halloween at Shetland Pony Club – there’s a chill in the air and it’s getting dark. The ponies are waiting for the sun to go down and the full moon to shine. Then all the animals that love to play at night can come out. There are bats and badgers… but what’s that scary thing?

What does this mean for my pony riding booking?
Pony riding fits into an exception category where people from different households can gather for outdoor exercise, organised outdoor sport, and licensed outdoor physical activity. So, you can still go ahead with your pony riding booking, but please follow our coronavirus procedures, which are put in place to keep you safe. You can find out more details about COVID-Safe riding with us here.
New minimum riding age of 4
Shetland Pony Club is proud to be one of the first riding schools in the country to be awarded the Association of British Riding Schools Certification for COVID-19 Safe Working Practices. Having risk-assessed our riding in the light of the government guidelines, we have changed the age for riding to a minimum of 4 years old, until further notice. For children aged 2.5 – 4, we hope to be able to resume in the spring. Keep an eye on our weekly email, social media and the website here for more information.
Take care from
The Shetland Pony Club Team and all the Shetland ponies
