Who is this experience for?
The Petite Pony Walking experience is designed for children (age 8+), families, and anyone who prefers a gentle, low-energy activity with animals. It’s especially suited to first-time pony handlers, those with limited mobility, or guests who simply want a peaceful stroll in nature. With calm ponies and a relaxed pace, it’s a welcoming experience for all ages and abilities.
Our Ponies
Derick and Gloria were rescued as wild foals from a local market, where their future was uncertain and their trust in humans was yet to be built. With patience, care, and plenty of gentle handling, they’ve grown into the confident, affectionate ponies they are today. Their journey from nervous beginnings to beloved companions is a testament to resilience, and the magic of second chances. Small in size but big in personality. Derick is cheeky and curious, always ready for a new challenge, while Gloria brings calm confidence and a gentle nature to every encounter. Together, they’re the heart of our experiences, delighting visitors with their charm, intelligence, and unmistakable bond. Whether trekking or tackling agility, they make every moment unforgettable.
How do I walk a sheep?
Each of our ponies are trained to walk calmly on a headcollar, making them easy and enjoyable companions for a countryside stroll. Walking a pony is often compared to walking a dog, though many guests say our miniature Shetlands are even better behaved than their pups at home! With their gentle pace and friendly nature, they’re ideal for all ages. Don’t forget your wellies or walking boots, as we’ll be crossing fields, streams, and muddy paths along the way.
We have a variety of walks available throughout the year, upcoming walks can be viewed here.
