To ensure that you get the most out of your lesson or hack at Bolton Gate, it is paramount that you
feel safe on the horse that you are provided with. We make it our continual job to make sure that
all of the horses on the farm are suitable for the job and are "riding school friendly".
They are well vetted and in tip top health thanks to all of our well knowledged staff. Below we have tried to give you just a bit of information of each one of the horse so that can familiarise yourself with them before deciding to book a lesson. If you have any enquiries about any of the ponies just give us a call or send us an email and we will put your mind at rest. Keep an eye out for up and coming horse events featuring some of the ponies below. Details of all shows will be available in the shop and also updated on the website. All abilities are welcome to take part in the events but they are only open to individuals who are our own riding school clients. Rosettes, sashes, tropheys and vouchers to spend in the shop are among some of the prizes available to be won at these Bolton Gate events.
