Pony Club The ‘Own a Pony’ camps offer a fun and educational experience for young riders, helping them build confidence and develop essential equestrian skills. Throughout the camp, participants learn about grassland management and how to care for grazing areas to keep ponies healthy and happy.

Students are also taught grooming and tacking up techniques, gaining hands-on experience in preparing ponies correctly before riding. Stable management is another important part of the programme, where riders learn daily care routines such as feeding, mucking out, and maintaining a safe environment.

Alongside practical stable work, riders benefit from simulator lessons to improve balance, position, and riding technique before putting these skills into practice during riding lessons with experienced instructors.

Bookings for this camp are made via EC Pro (new-hall-school.ecpro.co.uk). Groups limited to 8 students.
