Part-Ownership and loan Opportunities

We are excited to offer part-ownership and loan opportunities with a small selection of ponies at various stages of their training. Our horses are carefully trained and cared for through the Think Like a Pony approach, a relationship based approach which focuses and building respect, trust and a strong foundation of training.

What is Part Ownership?

Part ownership allows you to experience the joy and responsibility of horse ownership with professional support. You will:

- Share care, costs, and training with our experienced team, making horse ownership more accessible and affordable.

- Have access to ongoing guidance and mentorship from Sophie Hildreth, lead Think Like a Pony Outreach Instructor, to support you on your horsemanship journey.

- Your horse or pony will remain on-site at our horsemanship centre near Bude, Cornwall, where they feel safe and settled.

Who Are Our Ponies and Horses?

We have a small range of ponies and horses available, each with their own personality and strengths. Some are at the beginning of their training journey or working toward being backed, whilst others are trained children's ponies, perfect as a first or second pony.

All of our horses are trained with a focus on building trust, communication, and partnership, making them ideal for those wanting to learn and grow through relationship-based horsemanship.
