Ponies @ Bumblebarn
Pony Experiences at Bumblebarn will (hopefully!) launch in April 2021
​
Our miniature shetland ponies - Honey & Pippi - are adorable and dinky too, just 28" and 34" tall, so they're perfect for those who find the larger horses a bit intimidating!
Gift Vouchers will be available soon here!
​
Children must be accompanied at all times by a parent or guardian
There is NO RIDING at any time
​
Our Children's experiences are designed to be one-to-one with our staff member, but we can take two children from the same household/two friends if they wish to come together.

Wellness Pony Visits
We love to visit individuals, groups or organisations to share the benefits of spending time with these lovely animals!
Our Shetlands are small and able to go indoors and up a few steps so are suitable for visiting residential homes, schools and many other environments. They are always brought by our experienced handlers who are able to answer questions and chat to everyone, regardless or age or ability. We have training in the benefits of animal assisted activities, mental health and wellbeing and can offer tailor made experiences and activities for most requirements.
