Mkulu Kei Horse Trails

Pony camps and children's riding holidays are a great way for kids to learn to ride horses. Learning to ride a horse is one of those things one should do during ones life, sometime you will get the opportunity to ride a horse or pony. Depending on either your own experiences with horses or another persons, you will be open to the idea or totally opposed. Give your child the gift of being comfortable near or in the saddle, knowledge empowers you and many of the myths expelled with learning in a controlled safe riding stable with instruction.

This horse and pony adventure holiday gives children the riding camp experience of learning to ride, riding tips on balance, seat, hands etc, and how to control a horse correctly, and confidence not only in the saddle but working on the ground with horses too.

Pony camps and children's riding holidays are a great way for kids to learn to ride horses. Cher-a-Don Mkulu Kei Horse trails is a working trail riding establishment and stud. We have always opened our home to our young riding clients during the holidays and now ready to open to the public. The camp is a personilised home from home experience, small groups are accommodated at our home while larger groups are held at the Lalapanzi adventure centre. On Monday the kids arrive or can be fetched from East London with little or no equestrian experience; depart on Sunday afternoon feeling confident in the saddle and on the ground around horses. On Sunday we have a braai with the parents and the kids can show their parents their riding skills, in a mini show.
