Amazing rides for family
Our events are environmentally friendly in that our rides do not require any form of electric power or fossil fuel to operate the ponies. Our only requirements are hard surface and large enough space.
No waste is generated by our events.
The business provides a unique form of entertainment that the whole family can participate in, from toddlers to grandparents. Whilst having fun, they are also exercising without realising, thereby making some contribution in the good health of the nation.
- Zero Carbon Footprint for activity
Our ponies are operated by the sole action of the rider performing a rising trot motion (like a real jockey). There is no use of fuel or any form of electricity to operate the ponies.
- Fitness benefits
There are many fitness benefits to be had from riding our ponies. We pride our activity on providing people of all ages with a fun way to exercise. Legs, Arms and Body Core are all given a workout because the ponies act like a cross trainer. People of all ages and abilities are able to ride. Many nervous children and adults are happy to ride and benefit from joining in our activity. People with physical challenges are also encouraged to take part and we offer support to those who need it. Parents are encouraged to participate in activity with younger children and whole families can ride together.
- Family friendly activity
Our ponies offer whole families an activity to do together. Children from as young as 2 years can ride up to adult age (only restriction being 19 stones or 120Kg for adults). We have had 3 generations riding together and have many loyal families who return time and time again. To encourage family participation we offer loyalty cards which once filled offer free rides and discount for large families.
- Other benefits
There are many other benefits to be had for our younger riders. Balance ability, social skills, co-operation skills, co-ordination skills, listening skills. In order to ride our ponies, instructions are given as to direction, how to use ponies, what can and can not be done. For many of our riders this is the first experience of taking part in an outside activity.
- What we have to offer
We have 3 different sizes of ponies. 2 years to 4 years, 5 years to 8 years and 8 years to adult. Riders are allocated ponies based on the physical size and ability. Children are supervised at all times. If a child’s ability suggests a change of pony size, then the child will be offered alternative size pony.
- Low risk of accident
Our ponies are all slow moving, and it takes the efforts of the rider to make the pony move. The riding action makes the pony move forward slowly on small wheels. We offer all riders the option of a hard helmet. We request the accompanying adult of a rider that refuses to wear the helmet to sign a disclaimer prior to riding. Also unaccompanied older children under 16 years are not allowed to ride without helmet.
- Something Different
What we offer is something completely different. The majority of our riders say they have never seen anything like our event before. What they love about it is that we offer their children a fun way to exercise.
We look forward to your riding and having fun with us
How to ride our ponies
Our ponies move solely by the efforts of the rider. The ponies move by rising trot action of the rider (stand up - sit down), view below video.There is no use of any form of fuel or electricity to operate the ponies. We offer all riders the option of a hard helmet before riding. If the offer is refused, the accompanying adult is made to sign their approval and they can then be offered cowboy hats for added fun.
