Caring for your lease pony

When you OWN your own horse or pony, you are responsible for it's complete care, but NOT to the same degree when you lease a pony through our ADOPT A PONY service.

• You don’t have to feed and wait  around till your pony finishes its feed each night like other  responsible horse owners – We’ll do that.
• You don’t have to take rugs off in the mornings and put them back on at night – our job.
• You  don’t have to take time out of your day to be at the agistment when  your pony needs his feet trimmed or if he needs a vet in attendance –  That’s our responsibility.
• You won't be billed for farrier or vet fees either - We pay these fees.
• You won’t be required to clean out pony poo from paddocks – we have that side of pony care covered.
• And you don't have to pay for additional tack, equipment or equipment repairs - We're the lucky ones who do this :-)

But you will get to enjoy this aspect of pony 'ownership' with Adopt A Pony leasing program (something that you don't get to do often (if at all) when you're enrolled in a riding school.

• You’ll get to catch your pony when you come to see it.
• Groom him.
• Saddle up.
• Go  for a ride – lead your child on the pony and stay with your child during the time you’re here, unless they are independent, older riders leasing a bigger pony.
• Unsaddle, put your tack away, groom your pony again.
• Mix up a small ‘thank you’ feed.
• Take your pony back to the paddock
• Put any other equipment that you used (bucket, grooming) away.
• Clean up any droppings from the tie up area.
• Have fun shampooing your pony in the horse wash area (summer time only).
• Have a go at riding bareback.
• Even just enjoy taking your pony for a walk and picnic out in the back paddock.
• Playing in the playground before or after your ride.
• As a family, parents get to meet other parents enjoying the same activity, the kids will get to meet other kids their age, sharing a common love ... PONIES!
• Enjoy the community days we put on at our property several times a year - bonfine nights, BBQs etc.
