Ridden Easter Egg Trail

Good Friday, 15 April:  Available time slots between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm | £25 per child | Age 3 – 12 years

Join our ponies for a special Easter Egg ride!

Children will have lots of fun riding their pony around our tricky indoor course gathering Easter eggs.  They'll each receive an egg to take home with them when they've completed the course.  This activity is suitable for riders and non-riders, but children who cannot ride independently will need to be accompanied by an adult who can lead their pony – training will be given. There will also be hot drinks available to purchase on the day, in aid of the Ride High charity, so we hope you'll bring some change with you and support this good cause! Children must be accompanied by an adult whilst on site and should only bring a maximum of 2 adults to accompany them for this experience. 

Please book via ECPro.  Booking slots are available at 30 minute intervals with a maximum number of 6 riders per slot.
