Willow Farm
|
|
| Introduction |
|
Willow Farm is an established family yard where children have the opportunity to learn the responsibility (and fun) that goes with owning a pony -looking after their pony - grooming, mucking out, tacking up etc as well as just riding. We take cildren from 3yrs old to adults in their 60s and strongly believe that the opportunity to ride should be available to everyone. We specialise in residential weekends and weekly riding holidays - also day courses in school hols -great fun! Do look at our website!
