During term time the ponies trek at Swanston. These treks run at the weekends only, although if you would like to trek at another time please contact us and we will try to accommodate you. You will be asked to meet your trek leader at the field, which you can travel to either by car or by bus (see our Find Us page for details).

Beginner and Novice Afternoon Trek

These treks last 1-1½ hours and are aimed at beginner and novice riders, although more advanced riders are welcome to join if they are happy to ride at a slower pace. These are also ideal for children over 8 years of age who are ready to ride off the lead rein.*
