** Space Filled** Due to sickness with our regular rider. We have 1 Pony Play Time space for this Saturday at 1pm available if anyone wants it? $15 for the hour sharing with another wee 3 year old and their family. It’s a fun and educational time - not your standard pony ride 😊

We just had 2 lovely families who joined us from New Brighton for Pony Play Time for 3 weeks in a row as a homeschooling activity.

Week 1 : we concentrated on grooming and had a short ride in the arena on the lead,

Week 2 : we groomed and went for a hack off the property on the lead.

Week 3 : We groomed and the girls learnt the first steps of riding off the lead.

In total, this experience costed each family $45 plus petrol 👌 Pony Play Time is designed to be a fun one off but when you come regularly it also acts as riding lessons - it’s a slower education than the Horse Skills classes but an education nonetheless ❤️

In Late June we were privileged to be joined by a lovely group from Bloomfield court Retirement home. They came up in their van and spent a while patting and brushing the horses and then sat down for their packed lunch. It was a gorgeous experience had by all and one we would love to offer to the wider public.

If you are connected to a group of people who would benefit from some time with friendly and curious horses from September 1 we will be offering group visits.
Get in touch to find out more.

This review really warmed my heart! We love Pony Play Time sessions with the wee ones. Thanks Amber, Fynn and Paul for your continued support 🙏
…………….
The review spot doesnt let me leave the review that Oko's place deserves! We love our toddlers play time sessions. They have been amazing with Fynn getting confidence around horses and ponies. Fynn is a very busy toddler with limited attention and he asks now he asks if he has pony play times because he enjoys it. The ethics of Oko's Place is what we love. all the animals on the property are not just animals to them they are part of their family. They are patient and teach him things that are at his ability / attention span.

The ponies are taught to trot slowly like this. So we can walk next to them and they’ll give the wee ones a little thrill, but actually we aren’t going fast at all 🤫 We even have some 2 year olds who come and all they want to do is trot 😂 so cute. And so good for balance!
