Are you the owner of Pony Tales?
Trust and confidence between the rider and pony, and this one-on-one approach allows for personalised attention and instruction. Our experienced instructors take the time to assess each rider's abilities and tailor the lessons to their individual needs and goals. The focus in these lessons is on developing a strong foundation in basic riding skills, including proper posture, balance, and control of the pony.
For riders who are comfortable and confident in their basic riding skills, we offer group lessons. These lessons provide an opportunity for riders to learn and grow alongside their peers, fostering a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. Group lessons are structured to accommodate riders of similar skill levels, allowing for targeted instruction and progress. Our instructors guide riders through various exercises and activities designed to improve their riding technique, confidence, and overall enjoyment of equestrian sports.
For riders who are interested in competing, Pony Tales offers specialised lessons and training programmes to help riders prepare for shows and competitions. Our instructors have extensive experience in the competition arena and can provide guidance on dressage, jumping, and other equestrian disciplines. We focus on refining riding skills, improving performance, and instilling a competitive mindset while maintaining a positive and supportive environment.
During school holidays, Pony Tales offers a unique and engaging holiday programme. These programmes are designed to provide children with a memorable and educational experience centred around horsemanship and pony care. Each participant is assigned their own pony for the day, allowing them to develop a bond and take responsibility for the pony's care. Children will learn about grooming, feeding, and general pony maintenance, all while having fun and building confidence around these magnificent animals.
Pony Tales is also the perfect place to host your child's next birthday party. Our fully catered pony parties provide a total party experience from start to finish. Children will have the opportunity to ride and interact with our friendly ponies, under the guidance of our experienced instructors. We take care of all the details, including decorations, refreshments, and entertainment, ensuring a stress-free and unforgettable celebration for your child.
