Pony Days
May 27th, 28th & 29th
August 12th, 13th & 14th
August 26th, 27th & 28th
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 £65.00, with a £25.00 deposit required to secure a spot. Please note that cancellations within 24 hours of the Pony Day will require full payment.
HRS Big Summer Show
Show kicks off at 5:30 PM
Class one-Speed class
50cm
12 jumps in a timed challenge.
Class two- Ride & Bike
2a. 10 & under (x poles)
2b. 11-13 years (straights)
2c. 14 & over (60cm & over)
In this class, the rider and horse will tackle ten jumps in a timed challenge. But that's not all! Once they've cleared the jumps, it's time for a quick switch-rider hops off the horse and jumps onto a bike to tackle an obstacle course, which is also timed! This class is all about speed, skill, and seamless transitions, making it a fun experience.
Class three- Pairs Jumping!
This is all about teamwork and precision! Two riders will take turns tackling a course of ten jumps each. The twist? They have to swap over a baton during the changeover! This means that timing and coordination are key, as each rider must not only focus on their jumps but also ensure a smooth transition when it's time to switch. This showcases the partnership between riders, as well as their ability to work together under pressure.
Class four- Ride and Run!
In this class, one person riding will tackle nine jumps in a timed section. Once they've completed the course, they'll swap with their runner, who will then take on ten obstacles, including a water challenge! It's a fantastic test of teamwork, speed, and skill, making it a highlight of the show! This class is open to parents, siblings, and fellow riders alike!
Classes 1, 2 & 4 are £12.50 each
Pairs Jumping, is £25 for a team of two!
Payment is required for all bookings, and please note that there will be no refunds or swaps. Entries will close on June 20th
