Camps and Holiday Activities

By: Capricorn Coast Trail Rides

During school holidays we always have extra learn to ride classes.

 

"Own your own pony for a day...."

 

For those children who ask for a horse for their birthdays and Christmas – give them an opportunity to have all the fun and excitement of having their own horse - even if it is for just one day!

 

We will give them a lend of a pony or horse for the day and they will learn how to groom them, saddle up, how to be safe and ensure their pony is happy, as well as learning to ride!

 

It’s a fantastic experience for children and a wallet friendly alternative to buying the real thing!
