Pony days are a UK riding-school tradition: half-day or full-day sessions combining a riding lesson with stable management, grooming, feeding, and care of a pony. Most are aimed at riders aged 6 to 14 and run during school holidays. Format varies between yards; some include lunch, some run alongside Pony Club programmes, some are specifically for non-owners who want a fuller experience.

Frequently asked questions
What ages are pony days for?
Most UK pony days target ages 6 to 14, although many yards take younger children with parental support and older teenagers for advanced versions. Always check the age range with the specific yard.
How much does a pony day cost?
Half-day pony days in the UK typically cost £25 to £50 per child. Full-day sessions run £40 to £80. Price usually includes the riding lesson, all stable activities, and a packed lunch on full days. Hat hire is often included; check with the yard.
When are pony days usually run?
School holiday weeks are the busiest. Many yards run pony days every weekday during half-term and summer holidays, with a smaller programme on weekends during term time. Book early; popular yards fill weeks in advance.
