Four Acres

At four acres our pony’s are not just riding school ponies, they are regularly taken out by our own children for enrichment, keeping the ponies minds and bodies active.
This was Leci and Dee Dee enjoying a pleasure ride over the weekend, nannying baby Bess and Katie around open fields and over rivers. Who do you think would like to go next time?

📣 Announcement 📣 Coming 🔜 for the new year 🥳
We are very excited to be launching Four Acres Equestrian 🌟Pony Star Club🌟

Our pony star club will be structured around the British Horse Society Pony Stars Junior Challenge Awards!

Adventure, fun and friendship starts with
ponies!!

Each child will work through the age appropriate pony star ⭐️ challenge books at their own pace.

As part of the pony star club each child will receive their very own My Challenge Book to log their achievements. As they progress through the various challenges there will be stickers, badges and rosettes up for grabs too to keep them engaged and motivated.
With four key groups, Pony Stars enables long-term progression with a range of activities that will develop knowledge, skills and self confidence. In each group your child will work through sets of challenges that make up topics within set themes.

We will be running two flexible sessions a week on a Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon. You can come to both or one it’s up to you!

Each session will last an hour and are open to all! Not just our existing lesson clients!

Do you have your own pony? and would like to one day progress to your silver award? bhs stages, or even your teaching qualifications? The junior challenge awards are part of the path way of excellence offered by the BHS !

Are you a parent who would like your child to learn how to properly take care of a pony before making the investment and taking on the responsibility of owning your own pony?

Or would your pony mad child just like the opportunity to spend more time with the ponies learning horse care in a fun, safe and friendly environment?

For more information see the link below and don’t hesitate to contact us for any information.
