Lessons and Pony Club

Group lessons run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with private lessons available earlier the same days. The Pony Club is open to children who do not have their own pony, because the stables keep plenty of suitable ponies for kids to ride regularly. Ring Trisha to find a slot and say whether the rider is a first-timer.

The story

About Faughanvale Stables

This is a proper working riding school set on a 70-acre horse farm outside Greysteel. You get lessons in the arenas, plus hacks out across streams, rivers and woodland paths on their own land. It is the kind of place that runs Pony Club, fun days and birthday parties, so children who fall for horses have somewhere to keep going.
