The Positive Pony Workshop
The Positive Pony Workshop has been created for children age 7-13 years old. It provides an opportunity for them to spend a day learning about and interacting with our rescue horses in a safe and stimulating environment. The day’s activities combine interesting classroom based learning, group activities and practical hands-on sessions to ensure the children have an engaging and enjoyable experience. Groups are limited to just 4 children who have an allocated pony each. All supervisors are enhanced DBS checked and first aid trained. Sessions run 11.00-16.00 on allocated days at our beautiful farm in Middlewich, Cheshire.
