Riding for children

Do you have a pony mad child that wants to learn how to ride, care for ponies and meet other pony mad friends? If the answer is yes then we are the stables for you!

Here at Stag Lodge we cater for children from the age of 3 on our little Shetland ponies right up to our teenagers who want to do something slightly more challenging like learning how to jump, do dressage or even take place in our annual fun competitions. We will also be starting polocrosse and offering pony shares in the near future, which is very exciting! We offer pony courses on all school holidays from the age of 5 and also hold our pony club meetings at the weekends. Riding for children at Stag Lodge can be done irregularly as private lessons or if you wanted to make more of a commitment then we hold group lessons that happen on a weekly basis.

Stag Lodge is one of the largest Pony Club centres in England enabling children who do not own their own pony not only to learn how to ride but to be able to care and look after ponies while gaining badges and certificates. We were even the Pony Club quiz champions in 2008 and have been runners up in the Pony Club championships for the past 3 years! We also do outings for our Pony Club members to big equestrian events throughout the year including “Horse of the year show” and also “Badminton horse trials”. 

As a British Horse Society approved riding centre we are inspected at least once a year and only pass if we have met the most stringent standards of safety, instruction and horse care.
