The Pony Club at Burley-Villa
Burley-Villa is a British Pony Club Centre. This means we offer all the activities, badges, rallies, camps and riding tests which are usually available to children who own their own ponies, but our members can take them on our riding school horses and ponies.
We start with an assessment lesson, unless you are a regular rider with us already. This is for 30 minutes and will cost £44. We assess your child’s riding ability so we can make sure we find the right group with others of similar ability. You will be able to join your child up as a Centre Member. We can help you do this online. Then if you can let us know your child’s size for their official sweatshirt, we will order this on your behalf.
We have a number of different Pony Club groups, each group is half Riding and half Pony Care. In the Pony Care we cover all aspects of looking after a pony such as grooming, tacking up etc as well as helping you with passing the nationally recognized Pony Club Awards and Tests. Quite often we set simple homework like learning colours of ponies and parts of the saddle, all of which feature in the various tests.
Pony Club Groups cost £42.50 or you can buy a class pass for 6 sessions which offers a 10% discount
We have loads of other activities through out the year including Badge Rallies, Tests and Pony Club Camp. We always email Members with details of special days and they appear on our Facebook page. There are some examples of activity days we have held in the past below :-
Please email or call us for more details or to arrange an assessment lesson. We would love to welcome you as a member here at Burley Villa
