Welcome to the Pony Club: Where children’s dreams learn to gallop
At our Pony Club, it’s not just about riding — it’s about the special bond between child and pony. With lots of heart, playfulness and expertise, we gently introduce our youngest guests, from age 3, to horses as trusted companions.
What awaits your kids at the Pony Club:
- A warm welcome: We start in a relaxed atmosphere in our cozy little room, giving everyone time to get to know each other.
- Horse etiquette & care: Safety comes first! The kids learn the stable rules and spend plenty of time grooming and saddling the ponies. This helps build real trust.
- Into the saddle: In the riding arena, we playfully practise balance, rein handling and even take our first brave steps into trotting together.
- Stable explorers: After riding, we take care of the animals together — because real riders look after their friends.
- The magical Pony Box: To finish, every little rider receives an exciting Pony Box full of puzzles and knowledge about horse language to take home.
