The Exmoor Pony Centre

We offer half day experiences with the ponies, which include a good two hour ride, giving those with some riding experience a picturesque hack over Winsford Hill which might take in the ancient Tarr Steps, the spectacular views over the Punch Bowl, or the curious Caractacus Stone, as well as encountering the resident herds of Exmoor ponies, whose ancestors have roamed free for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and much more of the abundant wildlife which makes Exmoor so special.

For those with little or no riding experience, we recommend our “taster sessions”. These are private, individually booked sessions tailored to your request, lasting up to an hour and a half for both children and adults. Clients have ranged in age from 4 to 78 years! During this time, you will learn more about this special, ancient rare breed, about horse/pony care, and if you wish, the session will finish with a chance to ride on a pony in a comfortable, controlled environment. Many of our clients come for these sessions with the aim of achieving a ride out on the Moor.
