Pony Adventures & Workshopsare now available in Galston NSW.
Connect With Animals...
Join us in unique pony workshops alongside our team of small ponies, on a journey that fosters a feeling of connection to nature and empathy for other animals. Our ponies all have different personalities, opinions, and ideas of their own, just like people do! In this experience, you'll learn how to connect authentically with these sociable, curious equines.
You will be welcomed by your guide, Karri: a horse trainer, pony lover, and local resident, at the Galston Rural Sports Facility, where our journey begins. Here you will meet our ponies and get them ready for their walk or workshop, while learning about how they are trained - using positive reinforcement and valuing the horse's point of view. After learning some pony leading skills in an enclosed space, our Pony Workshops will include a personalised selection of activities, ranging from horse agility, trick training, grooming or washing, and coreographed patterns, depending on the level and comfort of the group.
We have a range of workshops to suit your needs:
Pony Friendship Workshop (90 mins) is for groups over 13 years of age
Parents and Ponies Experience (45 mins) is for parents with kids under 13
Seniors and Ponies Experience (60 mins) is for groups over 50.
We welcome mobility aids, wheelchairs and other special needs in all of our workshops. Get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.
Enjoy a Countryside Walk
On our Pony Walking Adventure, we will embark on a beginner-friendly 4 km walk along the bridleway surrounding picturesque Fagan Park. 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 back where we started from, where you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. 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.
We recommend breakfast or lunch at one of the many cafes in Galston, either before or after our activities. Or you could even pack a picnic and visit beautiful Fagan Park, just across the road.
We look forward to your company!
- Our ponies are our cherished companions. They expect to be treated with compassion and kindness at all times.
- Our workshops are completely outdoors. We will go ahead in a sprinkle of rain, but adverse weather (such as storms, rain, or excessive heat) will force us to postpone.
- Our venue has ample parking, wheelchair-accessible restrooms and a small undercover area.
- Our ponies may at first be wary of unusual wheelchairs or other walking aids. We will introduce them patiently and quietly to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable. Our group activities will vary based on the needs and abilities of our group to ensure everyone is included. Support workers and carers are encouraged to attend.
Please note: we do not offer pony rides, or kids pony parties
