Sarah, Alex and Lou have been chatting about how they fell in love with ponies – they all started their riding journey at riding schools. Honestly, it was so hard to fit our fave things about incredible riding school ponies into one feature! We’re all lucky enough to have become pony owners since then, but whether or not you have your own pony, we’re sure you’ll agree that riding school ponies are true superstars. Turn to p20 to celebrate them with us!

From riding tips, to keeping your pony happy and healthy this summer, we’ve got you covered! If your pony is new to water jumps, or needs a reintroduction to water, Alex Bragg has got lots of top tips for feeling confident riding through water. If you’ve ever wondered what happens at pony camps, we’re here to enlighten you and help you get prepped if you’re heading to your first one this summer, including our list of must-haves! Have you ever tried riding your fave pony without a saddle? If you’re wondering why you might do this, we’re here to help. Why not try our bareback riding exercises and discover the benefits!
