“Shetland Pony Club offers magical first rides for children on well-trained Shetland ponies in Surrey’s beautiful countryside, creating lifelong memories.”

The judges from the Prestige Awards were particularly impressed by the Pony Club’s welcoming atmosphere that brings families and friends together.
