Our Events

Pony Days at Eat Sleep Ride offer children a hands-on farm experience where they can spend the day caring for, grooming, and riding ponies while learning about horses in a small, supportive group setting. Running throughout summer 2026, the sessions include accredited learning, equipment provided, and subsidised places available to help make the experience accessible.

Reflect & Restore is a summer day retreat combining yoga, horse-led reflection, nature connection, and creativity on Eat Sleep Ride’s reclaimed coastal farm. Guided by Danielle McKinnon and guest facilitators, the experience offers a restorative day with the rescued herd, a farm-to-fork lunch, and a terrarium workshop — with all bookings supporting ESR’s youth community work.

“Cultures in Bloom” is more than an event — it’s a celebration of community, diversity, and connection. Bringing people together through culture, learning, and shared experiences, it creates a space where understanding, joy, and belonging can truly grow

Connection, confidence, or time in the saddle — these experiences offer more than just time with horses. Each session is designed to support wellbeing, build awareness, and create meaningful moments of calm, growth, and connection.

Our jump clinics are run by David Gatherer our own international event rider. Clinics are safe and fun for all ages

This day involved schools, CICs and charities, bringing more awareness of what we offer, how it works, and making new friends and connections
