We know we still owe you the rest of the horse introductions 😅 They’re coming, promise. We’ve still got a few special personalities waiting for their moment.

But look at this… Friday late afternoons at BallynaFagh. Cooling off the horses and just breathing out the week. Nothing beats it 🤎

If you’re not sure whether you (or your little one) will even like horse riding, we offer a free 30-minute intro lesson to try it out.

And as you’ve seen… we have a few different personalities here that tend to steal hearts quickly, no matter your age 🐴🤍

We do have riding and lesson slots open during the week and on weekends, so just pop us a message to book before they’re gone 🤍✨

🌾🐴Meet Galway – Our Gentle Heart at Ballynaghfagh Farm 💞

As a member of the Ballynaghfagh herd, Galway has her own way of doing things. She’s not one for chaos or pony politics — she prefers peace, routine, and a good cuddle over any kind of commotion. She’s the pony who watches everything, thinking before reacting, always steady and reliable once she decides to trust you.

Her best friend, of course, is our beloved donkey 🫏, who’s rarely more than a few steps away. The two of them have formed a bond that perfectly represents what Ballynaghfagh is all about — kindness, companionship, and finding comfort in simple things. ✨

When it comes to her human family, Galway is pure affection. She greets everyone who walks past her with soft eyes and a hopeful expression — always ready for a pat, a brush, or a good cuddle.

Now that she’s back in work, Galway has stepped beautifully into her role as a quiet teacher. She’s helping our little riders understand how to use their aids correctly, guiding them to be gentle, patient, and balanced. She gives back exactly what she’s given — when she’s treated softly, she gives her whole heart. Watching her connect with riders reminds us every day why ponies like Galway are worth their weight in gold. 🌟

💛 Meet Max 💛

The calmest, most bomb-proof gelding you’ll ever meet — and also, quite possibly, the laziest boy in the arena 😂

Max has stolen the hearts of so many little riders. He’s patient, kind, and totally unbothered by the chaos around him — unless, of course, you’re asking him to trot… then he suddenly forgets how legs work 😅

But take him out into the veld, and it’s a whole different story — suddenly our chillest horse becomes the most adventurous one! 🌾

Max might move at his own pace, but he’s taught countless kids how to ride, laugh, and trust. He’s the true definition of a gentle teacher 💫

Everyone, meet Belle 💛

She’s big, beautiful, and full of personality—and if you’ve met her, you already know she’s one of a kind. From helping riders tackle their first jumps to showing them how to use their aids with confidence and feel, Belle is always there, giving her all.

She’s soft, sweet, and steady as they come. Belle has a way of making nervous riders feel brave, and unsure riders feel like they can take on anything. She’s been a huge part of so many journeys here—always patient, always kind, and always trying her heart out.

Belle isn’t just a horse—she’s a teacher, a confidence booster, and a total barn favorite. We’re so lucky to have her. 💫
We love you, Belle! 🐴💛

🌟 Meet Aisling 🌟

Our sweet Connemara pony with the gentlest soul and the bravest heart. Born and raised in South Africa, Aisling has blossomed into the most loving, loyal partner anyone could dream of. 💛 Whether she’s flying through mounted games or learning to jump with joy in her eyes, she puts her whole heart into everything she does.

This year, she’s tackled big milestones — boxing for the first time, leaving the farm, and so much more — and she’s done it all with courage, trust, and that signature sparkle in her step.

🐎✨ Aisling is more than just talented — she’s the kind of pony who makes you fall in love with horses all over again.
Here’s to the little pony with a heart full of gold, who keeps showing us just how far love, trust, and a brave spirit can take you. 💕🌿

🌿 Meet Debs 🌿
Our golden girl with the biggest personality and the tiniest filter 😅🐴

Back in the day, Debs was famous for her little bucks and her “I’ll jump it my way” attitude — she definitely kept everyone on their toes! But oh, how she’s grown into herself. Still sassy, still sparkling, and still absolutely living for her jumps 💨

These days she’s a little calmer, a little wiser, but that excitement never left her — the moment she spots a jump, those ears go forward and that heart just shines 💛

She’s proof that even the boldest souls have the softest hearts. Our Debs — queen of sass, spirit, and second chances. 👑

✨ Meet the BallynaFagh Farm Four-Legged Team! ✨

Every shadow tells a story — and ours begins with the sound of hoofbeats 🐴💛

Stay tuned to meet the hearts behind the hoofprints 🤎

Looking for something real to add to your child’s homeschool week? 📚🐴

At BallynaFagh, we’ve created more than just “riding lessons.”

We follow a simple curriculum that helps children learn, grow, and thrive, in and out of the saddle 🌟

Here’s what that looks like in practice:
💚 Riding skills that build confidence and coordination
💚 Learning how to care for ponies (responsibility + problem-solving)
💚 Developing patience, focus, and resilience - life lessons that stick
💚 Small-group moments that create real friendships (without the schoolyard drama 🙈)

With flexible weekday hours and years of experience welcoming homeschool families through our gates, we make sure every child is learning and loving the process.

From BallynaFagh-born ponies to BallynaFagh-brave riders, this is learning that lasts ✨

Message us on 0619740290 to chat about adding our homeschool riding curriculum into your week 🌟🏇🏻💫

Okay… Summer is coming so no excuses!

If the person who ‘said’ that they would go riding together ‘soon’ is ghosting you…

I’m officially giving you permission to call them out 😉😂

Summer is back and if this has been one of the many excuses; let’s make a plan 🌟

We have ponies and horses to suit most riders (and ‘newbies’ as well 😉🌟)

And with our FREE 30 Minute Intro Lessons; this is a win 💪🌟

If you want to join in on the fun, contact us on 061 974 0290 to book your lesson or trail ride today🤩
