/ Isle of Wight Trip Activities / Pony Riding & Animal Husbandry
Why not visit the famous Island Riding Centre, learn about animal husbandry and take a pony for a ride around an obstacle course?
Perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike, in this half-day session students will muck out, groom and feed the ponies and horses on the site, along with filling hay nets and learning about stable management. This will be rounded off with an exciting pony ride around an obstacle course in the arena, configured according to the experience level of the rider.
Or, come for the whole day and work towards an ABRS Rosette in pony health or points of a horse, as well as all of the above activities!
