Primaries Ponies is a website filled with information and freely downloadable pdf's to help enable riding schools and primary schools to work together to provide a six week course for ALL interested year 3 (8yo) children to learn pony care and riding, with ABRS test A taken at the end of the course.
Please forward this link to your local primary and riding schools so that they can help children - whatever their circumstance or background in life to be able to say " I have groomed a pony and ridden a pony and fed a pony". That is what Primaries Ponies is all about.

ADULT RIDES
Whether you have never sat on a horse before, coming back from a break or ridden for years, our adults lessons provide the opportunities for you to build fitness, confidence and friendships as well as achieving your goals and having fun. These rides cover everything from hacking out, riding up and down the hills, dressage, show jumping, synchronised riding to music and working equitation.
Riders are shown how to fetch their horse from the stable, groom and tack up. After riding the riders are shown how to care for their horse, untacking, rugging up and returning to stable.
Izzy the instructress says: We tailor the ride to suit you! If it is fine weather and you would like to hack out - that is what we do! Or we can ride in the fields. If the weather is not so nice we can practice dressage, synchronised riding to music, show jumping, working equitation or bareback riding in the arena, the choice is yours!
