Frequently Asked Questions
What is your weight limit?
Our weight limit is 13 stone (85kg)
What is your minimum age for pony rides?
We are insured for children from one year old, but we ask that if the child is under four, an adult walks along to hold them to help out with balance.
Where do you do your rides?
All our rides are done out in Ruislip Woods, not in an arena.
What do I wear for my ride?
Riders are recommended to wear clothes they don't mind getting a bit dirty. Long sleeves and trousers. Shoes should have a slight heel, otherwise trainers are ok. No sandals/flip flops please! In the winter, please wear wellies as it does get muddy out in the woods.
Do I need to bring my own hat?
No we provide you with hats, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have one. We encourage regular riders to buy their own hat. (Everyone must wear a hat at all times)
What age do you charge adult prices?
People aged 16 and over are classed as adults
Do you do lessons?
We do not do lessons and do not have an arena to ride in. We do hacks and rides through the woods only which are suitable for beginners or experienced riders
What is a Hack?
A hack is a one hour ride where someone else accompanies you on another horse. This is for experienced riders only who are confident in walk trot and canter. Please be realistic about your abilities when booking a hack as it is very important we put you on a suitable horse. Hacks are in an open environment where there is no one on foot to help you out, therefore you must be a competent rider and know how to get yourself out of trouble if an accident does happen
I am an experienced rider but my friend has only ridden a few times, can we come for a hack?
Yes you can, but please be aware that you will ride at the pace of the slowest and least experienced rider so that the group stays together and to ensure your safety. Your friend will need to be able to do a competent rising trot in order to come on the trek, otherwise we will have someone escort you on foot.
Do you provide food with your birthday parties?
No unfortunately we do not provide any food. Only use of the party room is included
