Tonight we said goodbye to our beautiful Moby. Often also known as “Granny”💔

After many wonderful years as part of the riding school family, Moby was peacefully put to sleep surrounded by the some of the staff who loved her so dearly. She truly was worth her weight in gold and touched the lives of so many riders over the years.

Moby taught countless people to ride, giving confidence, memories, and plenty of smiles along the way. She was known for her lazy moments that made us laugh, but every now and then she reminded us all to “hold on tight” too. Especially when we held one of our jumping competitions!

She wasn’t just a riding school horse — she was part of the family, and the yard will not be the same without her.

Run free now, Moby. Thank you for everything. 🌈🐴

Wellness Sessions

Are you or a loved one looking for a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle? Join us for our gentle, sensory-focused pony sessions. Designed with a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere in mind, this is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, connect, and experience the calming presence, warmth and textures of the ponies.

Perfect for individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, autism, or those who simply need a quiet moment in nature. The entire experience takes place on the ground - focusing entirely on companionship and interaction. Spend time with your own pony, grooming, petting or just hugging!

Starting Wednesday 27th May, and we're only 25 mins from Belfast City Centre

Sessions are £25 and an hour long, and include a tea, coffee or juice and a biscuit afterwards

It is with sadness we have to let you know the we will be closing the coffee shop on the 13th Feb.
We would like to thank you for your custom over the past year but due to forthcoming changes we can't commit to providing the service we would like to provide.
We hope you all continue to enjoy your horse riding at Farmhill and hope to see you all about.

~ William, Hannah & Katie

There will be tea and coffee making facilities after the 13th for the next few weeks while we investigate getting vending machines on the yard
