About Us
We are a
TRSS approved trekking section and all trek leaders undergo a year's training to ensure a high standard of care for both trekkers and ponies.
From September to June, members of the public can enjoy day treks at the weekend. In the summer months, treks are run everyday except Friday. All the money made from the treks goes back into the care of the ponies and the running of the business. Trek leaders are not paid.
Our herd is currently made up of fourteen Exmoor ponies ranging from 8 to 22 yrs.
Anyone can come trekking* and we cater for all levels of riding ability. However, due to the size of the ponies (approx 11hh to 13hh) we cannot allow anybody over 12 and a half stone (79kg) (subject to change in winter) to ride. We also insist that any child under 12yrs old is accompanied by an adult.
