Love Through Horses

Join Pony Pals horse riding school at Bredasdorp Park and Prinskraal Farm from Monday to Saturday, for horse riding lessons, and rides. A team of qualified trainers offer basic, advanced, showing and endurance training to horse lovers of all ages and levels of experience. Learn to saddle-up correctly before you walk, trot and canter, in style. Outrides are available on request and vary in duration. Fun-filled children's parties can be held on the farm or at a venue of your choice. Furthermore, Pony Pals facilitate the Overberg Pony Club and also front an NPO called Love through Horses that provide free riding lessons to disadvantaged children, and those with special needs. The horses and ponies at Pony Pals love the camera and can be hired, with a handler, for matric farewells, weddings, movies and ads.
