🐴 ONE Spot Left – Friday Pony Class (Beginners)

We have one space available in our Term 2 Friday 3:30pm Pony Class 🐎

✨ Level 1 (Beginners)
✨ Ages 5–9 (younger group)
✨ Weekly during the school term
💲 $45 per class

This class is perfect for children just starting out with ponies. Alongside riding, they’ll learn all the important basics in a calm, supportive environment 💛

What they’ll be learning:
🐎 Grooming, feeding and caring for ponies (brushes, hooves, tack basics)
🐎 How to safely approach, lead, and handle a pony
🐎 Farm skills like poo picking, feeding, and simple horse care tasks
🐎 Calm behaviour around horses – where to stand, how to move, and staying safe

A beautiful foundation for young riders to build confidence, responsibility, and a love of horses 🐴
