Help! My child wants a pony.
If your child really, really wants a pony and you need some more information about how to start, then watch this video.
Beginners’ experts
Shetland Pony Club are beginners’ experts - we have taught over 20,000 children to ride. In this video Rosemary, Founder of Shetland Pony Club, helps you with all those questions and concerns you may have, such as: How much does it cost? Where do I go? What do I need?
Boys and girls love ponies
Children from age 3 and above can ride with us, as we have small Shetland ponies. Some riding schools need children to be older due to their insurance and the size of their ponies.
Costs are more like skiing and sailing
Riding can be more expensive than football or athletics, but there are ways to enjoy time with a pony before committing to buying one.
Best way to start riding
A Starter Ride is a great way to begin. You will have your own Shetland pony and a one-to-one helper to guide you with getting to know your pony and brushing him. You then help to put on his saddle and bridle and lead him. Then it’s time to ride him, outside in nature, around our meadows.
Children can progress to an Own a Pony Experience which is 2 hours long. They learn pony care as well as riding.
For those who are keen they can join our Pony Share Members Club. That is the best route to start riding before buying your own pony.

Our Shetland ponies live in Surrey, England, UK and are all trained to be ridden by children. We upload every Wednesday with mini films about the ponies’ life and adventures and we hope you will join us. Our aim is to help more children start pony riding and for more Shetlands to have loving active homes where they are well cared for.
