đ Preston, North West
Shetland pony experience near Preston offering riding, grooming, and yard activities with a therapeutic focus. Staff tailor each session to individual children, with weekly bookings and birthday parties available.
A yard full of great joy, visit whenever life allows! The ponies are such great therapy and it is always a joy to groom them and help out. The parties held are full of excitement - never a dull day with a pony! So many different personalities and it's amazing to see these ponies being taken into a good and loving forever home. Karen and Will have done great with the yard, and it is only the start. The Gordon and Mumford Family xx
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for children who need gentle, confidence-building animal interaction rather than formal riding instruction. The personalised attention from Karen's team makes it particularly well-suited to children who benefit from routine and calm environments. Weekly sessions allow children to build genuine relationships with the ponies over time.
