Pony Days are our most popular activity at the riding school and they fill up quickly! Whether it's your child's first time riding or they’re seasoned pros, they’re guaranteed to have a fantastic day filled with fun and learning. Running from 10am to 4pm, our Pony Days are structured around a certificate system, providing children with a sense of accomplishment as they progress through three gradings.
Each grading includes both stable management and riding sections that must be completed before they can earn their certificate. We understand that it may take more than one Pony Day to complete a certificate.
Throughout the day, children will engage in a variety of activities, including:
- Mucking out
- Grooming and learning to pick out their horse's hooves
- Identifying parts of the grooming kit
- Learning how to saddle a horse
- Riding twice
- Plaiting
- Bathing (weather permitting)
- Plus, lots of fun games!
The cost for the day is £70, with a £30 deposit required to secure a spot. Please note that cancellations within 24 hours of the Pony Day will require full payment.
Pub Hacks
Pub Hacks are relaxed, social rides lasting around 2½ hours and tend to book up very quickly. The route takes us through our local woods, followed by a well-earned stop at the pub for a drink before heading back. These hacks are open to competent, self-sufficient riders, both children and adults

Summer Holidays 2026
Pony Camp
27th - 31st July & 10th - 14th August
Our super popular 5 day residential pony camp includes all meals, secure on-site camping, and 24-hour supervision. Riders enjoy two structured riding sessions daily, with morning and afternoon lessons. One day features a showjumping competition, where riders compete in two classes to win rosettes. A grooming competition runs throughout the week, with prizes awarded at the end of camp. Each evening includes a daily quiz, leading up to a quiz master final, along with evening entertainment such as rounders and the on-foot Olympics. The camp finishes with a 2½-hour hack, including the opportunity for a gallop!
Suitable for all abilities, with riders grouped by similar ability to ensure appropriate coaching.
Mini Camp
4th - 6th August
Mini Camp is a 3 day non-residential camp designed especially for our younger riders. Running from 10am–4pm each day, children enjoy two hours of riding daily. One session in the morning and one in the afternoon. The camp is packed with activities including obstacle courses, showjumping competitions, and confidence-building exercises, all aimed at helping riders improve their skills while having plenty of fun in a safe and supportive environment. This usually books up fast for our younger, up and coming riders.
Rider Course
17th - 21st August
Five-Day Rider Course is ideal for children and adults who want a riding experience without staying overnight. Running 10am–4pm over five days, the course includes structured riding lessons each morning and afternoon, tailored to ability. Riders are grouped appropriately to ensure confidence, safety, and progression throughout the week. The course finishes with a long hack on the final day, with the opportunity for a gallop, aiming for noticeable improvement by the end of the course.
HRS Summer Spectacular!
Show kicks off at 5:30pm on the 19th June!
Class one- 50cm Speed Stakes
10 jumps in a timed challenge.
Class two- Pairs Jumping
This is all about teamwork! Two riders will take turns tackling a course of ten jumps each. They then have to swap over a baton during the changeover box! This means that timing and coordination are key. This showcases the partnership between riders, as well as their ability to work together under pressure.
Class three- Accumluator
A progressive round where fences increase in height, from 50cm to 90cm. Points are awarded per fence, eg: Fence 1= 1 point, Fence 10= 10 points. If a fence is knocked down, no points are awarded for that fence. Refusals are allowed but will waste valuable time. The competitor with the highest score wins.
Class four- Ride & Run
The rider completes a timed round of 10 fences, followed by a runner tackling an obstacle course.
Classes 1, 2 & 3 are £12.50 each
Pairs Jumping, is £25 for a team of two!
