Trot on Tots

A gentle introduction to ponies for children aged 2–4, with 30 minutes of grooming and riding our friendly Shetland ponies.

For the smallest pony fans in your life. Tiny ponies, tiny saddles, very big smiles.

When your little rider is aged 4–6, they can move up to our Mini Riders School to build confidence on slightly larger ponies.

Planning a birthday? Our Pony & Petting Farm Parties are a lovely way for animal-loving children to celebrate with their friends.
