Picnic Pony Ride
Our Picnic Ride is brilliant fun for children.
Choose your favorite pony, bring a packed lunch and come and join a group of friends to ride out into the South Downs National Park. We will stop off for a picnic at lunch-time.
Children will be getting their ponies ready before the ride and taking care of them afterwards. Riders will be on or off the lead rein, depending upon ability so we cater for all!
Costs : Members £55 Non members £65

Open morning – all welcome
Open Morning – a great chance to have a look at what Lavant House Stables is all about!
Please do tell (or even better bring!) your friends and relations. Whilst normal lessons will be continuing, there will be lots of supporting events going on such as free pony rides, face painting, complimentary refreshments, tractor rides, special promotions and anything else we can think of!
As an example there will be an Easter Egg Hunt included on Good Friday 29th March at 11 a.m. and on the Bank Holiday Monday of 6th May everyone must also have a look at our Bluebell Wood as this date will hopefully coincide with the brief two weeks every year when it is a magical, shimmering sea of blue flowers—don’t miss it!

Pony Activity Day
Pony activity days for children : Each activity day follows a specific theme (such as easter) with lots of fun and learning, often with a gymkhana in the afternoon and always with rosettes awarded. Split into small groups according to age and ability, there are two riding sessions, plenty of hands-on with the ponies and guaranteed friendships to be made.
This is a perfect, safe and fun introduction to horse riding for children from 6-12 years during the school holidays and a great day for those that can ride already within a more experienced group.
Times : We offer both a morning session, 10 am – 1 pm and a full day 10 am – 4 pm.
Costs : Members £30 Non members £40 half day; Members £55 Non members £65 full day
