Don't own a pony but want to learn how to care for one?
If it’s not the right time for you to own a pony, then why don’t you put your energy into learning more about how to care for a pony? That way, if the right time to own a pony does come along, you’ll be well prepared! There are many ways that you can start to learn about the day-to-day caring of a horse or pony. Riding is not the only thing that you need to know, caring for a horse properly means you have to think about a lot of things.
What can you do to learn how to care for a pony?
Attend one of the pony care days that are run through The Blue Cross. These days teach you a lot about caring for a pony. To see when The Blue Cross is holding the next pony care day, contact your nearest centre.
Join a pony club through an approved riding school. You can learn a lot, ride in competitions, meet new friends and be awarded badges for horse and pony care.
Contact your nearest Blue Cross centre to book an educational talk or visit for your riding school or youth group.
If you would like to contact The Blue Cross to find out more, or would like to organise a talk, please call 08452 301672 or email equine@education.org.uk.
