February Half Term Pony Camp 2026

This horse and pony camp offers children an exciting and educational introduction to horses and riding in a safe, supportive environment. Each session is led by Garda-vetted staff with child protection qualifications, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care. Children are grouped by ability in small classes, allowing for personalized attention and skill development. Daily activities include grooming, tacking up, and stable management tasks, teaching responsibility and horsemanship while preparing for a riding lesson tailored to each child’s level. Campers also enjoy fun pony games and lead-out exercises, providing a mix of learning, play, and confidence-building.

Over consecutive days, the camp’s progressive structure helps children build new skills while developing a deeper connection with horses. The combination of practical horse care, structured lessons, and playful activities creates a balanced experience where learning is fun and memorable. Children leave the camp with improved riding abilities, knowledge of horse care, and enhanced social skills from working with peers in small groups. The camp emphasizes safety, engagement, and enjoyment, making it ideal for young riders at all experience levels who want to explore equestrian life in a friendly, hands-on environment.
