Children
Riding Lessons - We offer riding lessons for beginners
through to experienced riders. Children can start at 4 years old on
our half hour kindergarten classes. Parents are sometimes asked to help with leading in beginner lessons if they are happy to. As the children's skills improve
they will be able to move onto the next stage of one hour lessons.
These lessons work through the ABRS riding tests.
During school holidays there are a whole lot of fun-packed
activities:-
Pony days - The children arrive in the morning
and spend the day learning to care for a pony as well as having a
riding session.
Pony camps - A real favourite
of our young riders. We have 3 different camps to suit all ages and
standards. The children sleep in stables with full supervision and
enjoy riding during the day. The evenings are spent visiting local
places of interest, swimming and playing games.
There are many other riding activities for children to enjoy - contact
a member of staff for details.
Adults are welcome
to join our group lessons or book a private or semi private lesson.
We have a range of "safe" horses for hacking
out.
We are constantly getting new adult riders from the ages of 18 to 80 we offer lots for you to take part in such as stable management, entering competitions, part-loaning a horse, pub rides in summer or even if you just want to come and sit on a horse for a slow walk around we will cater for your needs. Remember ..you are never too old to start horseriding !!!

Follifoot Park Young Riders Club
 This Club has been created for our young riders who wish to improve their riding and also learn about stable management. You will learn new skills and also make lots of friends with people who love our ponies as much as you. There is no minimum age for the club (all riders have to be 4 or over) but the maximum age is 16.
What are the benefits of joining our fun Club?
Starter pack :
When each new member joins they will receive a starter pack that has all sorts of goodies in; these include a unique Follifoot Park Young Riders Club Certificate and a cap so you can be easily identified as a club member, there will also be a photo of one of the ponies from Follifoot and some quizzes so you can have FUN with your friends !
Activities :
- There will be special activities in the school holidays for Club Members only.
- An evening of stable management club activities every 8 weeks for members, where you can learn lots about how your favourite pony thinks and what special signs to look out for in his behaviour when you are handling him. You will learn how to groom our ponies properly, how to turn them out into a field, how much food and water they eat and drink each day and a lot more. Generally you will not be riding on club nights.
- You may have heard of the ABRS Tests that you can do as part of your normal riding lessons, Club members can get extra training to help you do them faster…you could even have a race with one of your friends to see who gets to test E the fastest!
- We will also have special Follifoot Park Young Riders Club Certificates to work through. These will be a little bit like the ABRS tests but especially made for our Club Members.
