Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a weight limit for riders?
Yes, even our biggest horses are not very big, therefore Our weight limit is 14 stone (90kg). We reserve the right to refuse anyone who we believe to be over the weight limit to mount the horse.
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 alongside to hold them to help out with balance.
Where do your rides take place?
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, stretchy trousers (eg. Leggings, jogging bottoms or jeans with stretch in them) are recommended for comfort. Shoes should be closed and have a slight heel, otherwise trainers or wellies are ok. No sandals, flip flops, shorts or skirts to be worn please! For anyone who would like to walk along on foot, please wear wellies/walking boots which you don’t mind getting mud on as it does get muddy out in the woods in the winter.
