THE STABLE YARD

If you’re looking for a more up-close-and-personal introduction to our equine friends, Pony Clubs from across Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire offered interactive demos and activities on pony care in the all-new Stable Yard in 2023. The Pony Racing Authority set up Equicizer machines (on the Friday of the show), giving children the chance to experience the thrill of race riding and the chance to race against one another on mechanical horses. There were also opportunities to learn about different equestrian careers in this area.
