WESTWOOD EQUESTRIAN OCTOBER HALF TERM PONY DAYS !
Thursday 29th October (with the possibility of an extra date depending on demand) Suitable for children of all abilities and ages from 4yrs upwards. Come and have a spooktacular time with the horses and ponies here at Westwood on our Halloween themed pony days (nothing too scary for the littlies though) Pony days must be booked in advance and will be on a first come first served basis. We ask for a non-refundable deposit when booking to secure your place. Please PM for more information or bookings.
For anyone who is not familiar with our pony days below are a few frequently asked questions....
Q) Does my child need to be able to ride ?
A) No, pony days are suitable for riders of all abilities. Even children who have never ridden before.
Q) Is there a minimum age limit ?
A) Our pony days are aimed at children of primary school age. Although we don't have a minimum age limit for riding lessons we do recommend 4 years old for pony days as they can be quite full on so real littlies do tend to get tired.
Q) What does a pony day involve ?
A) Typical pony day activities include mucking out, grooming, feeding and watering the ponies, learning different aspects of horse care, games, quizzes and creative activities and fun riding sessions, usually little obstacle courses and/or gymkhana games.
Q) Do parents have to stay with their children ?
A) No parents don't stay but we can assure you that your children are in safe hands. Both myself and my daughter Lottie stay with the children all day. The children are never left unattended.
Q) What will my child need ?
A) Your child will need to be dress appropriate for the weather (sun cream and sun hats in warm weather, waterproofs if rainy) and footwear suitable for riding (if not riding boots something with a slight heel ie wellies or boots, NOT TRAINERS) children will also need a pack lunch, perhaps with extra drinks if warm weather.
