About the event
🐴 Pony Pals Summer Sessions 2025
Saturday 5th July – Crosskennan Lane Animal Sanctuary
A fun, hands-on introduction to ponies for children of all ages — join us for one session or book several!
Join us at Crosskennan Lane Animal Sanctuary for our Pony Pals Summer Sessions — short, age-tailored experiences designed to help children connect with ponies through grooming, games, and gentle hands-on learning. Whether it’s their very first time around ponies or they’re already a little horse-mad, these relaxed sessions are the perfect summer treat!
We provide everything they’ll need — including helmets. Just bring suitable outdoor footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, and a sense of adventure.
We’re also happy to accommodate children with additional needs (SEN). If you’re unsure whether a session might be too busy or stimulating, please get in touch — we’re always open to discussing quieter sessions or adjustments to help every child feel welcome.
