Pony Rides
There's no better place for their first experience in the saddle
One of the highlights of their stay for many young guests are our pony riding sessions which are suitable for any children up to around 12 (but size dependent) The sessions are included in the cost of your stay and currently run several times a week.
Our horses
Our ponies Crystal and Ginger offer pony rides to the children and Rupert is our old boy who is now retired and enjoys relaxing in our fields. Â
Crystal is a pretty Welsh grey pony with pink on her nose. She is quite the character!
Our latest addition to the Bosinver gang is Ginger, Crystal’s new best friend, who is just the sweetest girl. Guess what colour she is?!Â
Rupert is a roan (brown in summer and grey in winter) Dartmoor pony. He has retired from riding due to arthritis in his back legs but you can find him chilling out in our meadows enjoying his dotage!
Wilfred, Juna, Angel and Lad are the Shire horses. They belong to a neighbouring farmer, Alfie, but live here most of the year and have appeared on the âHungry Sailorsâ TV programme! If you fancy a horse-drawn carriage ride during your stay, contact Alfie at Pikna Shire Horses to see if you can arrange an adventure around the local lanes.
First rides
forever memories
We had a brand new pony join us in 2022 – Crystal has settled into the gang as if she’s always been there and is available for all those fantastic first rides your little ones love so much!Â
