JohnnyBoy   10 #1 Posted December 18, 2012 Hi,  My youngest is 6 and animal mad, especially about horses and dogs! We've taken her for a couple of pony rides when on holiday and she loved it. We keep meaning to arrange some riding and never quite get round to it. To treat her we've bought her some cheapo jodpurs from decathlon and want to surprise her by arranging some lessons in the New Year.  So I'm after some recommendations for stables. I think she would also love the grooming/mucking out side so maybe a stable with a pony club. I've seen recomendations for Grenoside and Smeltings at Ringinglow are BHS registered. There was also some good reviews for White Acres in S6.  We are S11 so I'm after the most child friendly place, that would allow her to be hands on with grooming etc when she feels up to it, that is a reasonable commute and price. Failing that would it be worth nipping in to the horse and rider shop in crookes and asking if they have a recommendation?  Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
netta   10 #2 Posted December 18, 2012 Unfortunately horse and rider crookes is now closed:mad: If you google "places for pony rides Sheffield "or something similar it brings up a list of suitable sites PS dont encourage your child to ride or they might still be hooked on it 60 years later like me:thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Gemgem2013 Â Â 10 #4 Posted January 2, 2013 Snowdon farm is the best place to learn it terms of progressing and learning to ride properly and I believe they now do pony days etc they have a Facebook page worth checking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
maza87 Â Â 10 #5 Posted January 4, 2013 I had problems finding somewhere for my daughter when she was 6 as many places don't like teaching under 8s Have given up for now will wait until she's a bit older, hope you find something though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
