Do you dream of owning a Shetland pony? Let’s find out how you can make your dreams of owning a pony come true, the easy way, with a Pony Share Membership at Shetland Pony Club.

Finding a suitable pony

It can be a tricky, time-consuming and expensive business trying to find a suitable Shetland pony for your child. You need to be experienced to make a good choice.

A suitable home

Once you have found your ideal pony you need to have somewhere safe to keep him, where he will be happy and healthy with his friends, all year round.

Looking after your Shetland pony

There’s lots to do to care for your pony, from regular farrier’s visits and the horse dentist, to feeding him the right amount and caring for him if he is sick. It’s also expensive to keep your own pony. So, is there an easier way to have a pony?

Pony Share Membership

Yes, you can experience a pony of your own, the easy way, with our Pony Share Membership. Learn to ride, build a bond with your pony, come regularly to our club and enjoy pony fun in the countryside. There are two types of membership to enjoy:

  • Pony Membership – a pony of your own each week, 2 hours, from age 4+ £250* per month (price increase in 2023)
  • Mini Membership – a pony of your own each week, 45 minutes, from age 3+ £175* per month (price increase in 2023)

Pony Share membership runs for 9 months from March – end November 2023.

We are matching children and ponies soon, so do join the waiting list now for a chance of a pony in 2023.

How to join our Pony Share Membership scheme

Join our Pony Share Membership waiting list for the chance of a pony share in 2022. The perfect Christmas gift to make pony dreams come true.

Pony Share Membership is incredibly popular, with members coming every weekend to ride and care for their special ponies and enjoy being outside in nature.

What is Pony Share Membership?

Pony Share Membership is an easy way to experience having a pony of your own, without having to actually buy one and care for him every day. You can come at the same time each week to learn to ride and care for your pony, build a bond with him and enjoy pony fun in the countryside. If your pony is poorly, we will care for him and provide another suitable pony for your child to ride, so you don’t need to worry.

There are two types of Pony Share Membership to enjoy from March – November:

  • 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 4+* (*Covid age restriction)

How can I become a Pony Share Member?

Membership is very popular, so we have a waiting list of children hoping to ride each week with us in 2022. There is still just time to join the waiting list. Click on this button to join our Pony Share Membership waiting list by Monday 29 November 2021.

The waiting list closes on Monday 29 November 2021, and then it’s time to choose the ponies for the children on our waiting list for next year.
