Wee Womble Ride

THE PERFECT FAMILY OUTING

Description

These taster sessions have been designed for children of 3 to 8 years who have none or very little previous experience, however they are great for ‘grown up children’ too – the perfect family outing! This exciting experience will last around 15 minutes a gently led ride around the fields next to the stables.

These rides run at the end of the afternoon when the yard is less busy, so are suitable for any nervous riders. This is the ideal way to experience riding for the first time and is a good introduction for anybody new to ponies. No roads are used.
