Overview

Join us in a unique Pony Walking Adventure alongside our team of 5 small ponies, on a journey that fosters a feeling of connection to nature and empathy for other animals. This is a unique and memorable animal encounter experience, with lots of photo opportunities.

Our ponies all have different personalities, opinions, and ideas of their own, just like people do! During your time with us, you'll learn how to safely interact with and lead the ponies, as well as how to connect authentically with these sociable, curious equines.

We'll then head off together for a countryside walk, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the experience.

This walking tour provides not only an enjoyable and educational experience but also an enlightening one. Our ponies will help you discover new insights about these wonderful animals.

Suitable for ages 12 and up.

Itinerary

You will be welcomed by your guide, Karri, at the Galston Rural Sports Facility, where our journey begins. Here you will meet our ponies and get them ready for their walk. After learning some pony leading skills in an enclosed space, we will embark on a beginner-friendly 4 km walk along the bridleway surrounding picturesque Fagan Park. Throughout the journey, we will enjoy the changing scenery, chat about our surroundings, and pause to admire the countryside views.

As we follow the bridleway, we may encounter other users of the trail such as dog walkers, horse riders, and cyclists. We might be lucky enough to spot some horses, sheep, cows, and even native wildlife along the way. Our path is a one-way loop leading us back to our starting point, where we will tend to the ponies' needs and reward them for their good work. You can help brush or wash them and feed them.

We wrap up our time together with some light refreshments and a friendly chat, where you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

This adventure with the ponies was great! We went for a fabulous walk around Fagan park and I was amazed how the ponies immediately accepted me as their new friend, came along happily, often on their own with the lead rope simply thrown over their backs, or being led willingly by Karri and eventually me. Karri taught me a lot about the ponies, their personalities, their needs, the way she trains them, and I got to pet them, lead them and give them treats. Karri's knowledge about ponies and training was impressive. I particularly liked her humane approach of training which revolves around developing trust and positive rewards. It was a truly wonderful experience. I would recommend it to anyone interested in animals.
