Saddle up for some hands-on horsey fun at Moorwards Farm's Christmas Hoof Camp. If your children were asking for a pony this Christmas, go for the next best thing and sign them up for these riding sessions. They will get to trot on the farm for an hour, and also learn how to groom, feed, muck out, and look after ponies. For children over the age of four. You can book a half day, a full day, or for three days at a discount. It will be hungry work, so riders attending for a day should bring a packed lunch.

The events run from Moorwards Farm Equestrian Facility in Iver from Friday December 2 to Monday December 30.
