Little Stable Hands
Hands-on miniature pony sessions for children aged 6+
Get stuck in, learn how to care for ponies, and spend time behind the scenes at Dinky Hooves.
Get Stuck In
Ever wondered what it’s really like to look after ponies?
Little Stable Hands gives children 6+ the chance to get hands-on and learn what really goes on behind the scenes at a miniature pony yard.
From grooming and feeding to mucking out and safe handling, children can learn practical skills while spending time with Tess, Millie and Winnie.
Sessions are kept small, with a maximum of 2 children, so there’s plenty of opportunity to get involved.
Good to know
Neurodivergent-friendly
A calm, supportive environment where children can learn at their own pace.
Weekday sessions
Perfect for home-educated children, with sessions during the week.
Hands-on and practical
Children are actively encouraged to get involved rather than simply watch.
No weekly commitment
Come along for a one-off session or book again if they enjoy it.
No previous experience is needed
There is absolutely no pressure to get everything right, and no prior pony experience is required.
What we’ll get up to
Every session is a little different, depending on what needs doing and what the ponies are up to.
Children might get involved with
Grooming
Feeding
Mucking out
Learning how to handle ponies safely
Helping with everyday pony care
Getting to know the ponies and their different personalities
There’s always something to do, but we won’t be following a rigid lesson plan. The aim is to learn by doing.
