Pony Parties – for birthdays, special occasions, or just because you love ponies!
We organise many school holiday activities with horses.
For example, picnic rides, stable management, or just a hack around the beautiful countryside near Harrogate.
Pony days and “Own a Pony” experiences are very popular with children, and we also do half-days both AM and PM.
Pony Days
Spend the whole day at Follifoot Park Riding Centre getting to know and care for a pony. Each Pony Day includes one riding lesson, and either a bareback ride or a session on one of our mechanical horse simulators. Our Pony Days are a great way for a child to experience a taste of riding and horse-care.
Own A Pony Day
If you enjoyed our Pony Days and are ready for more, or you’ve already spent some time around horses, this is for you. The Own A Pony days give riders the chance to really experience what it’s like to have a horse of your own. An hour and a half of supervised riding is included. Children must be able to independently tack up, walk, trot, and canter to take part in Own A Pony days.
