6x the best farm holidays with horses

Is your daughter or son also totally crazy about ponies, horses and everything that comes with it? Riding lessons at the equestrian center, wallpapering a room with horse posters, wanting to pet every pony you meet or even enjoying having a horse of your own? Or are you just real animal lovers and just want to explore the world of horses and ponies. In both cases you have come to the right place at FarmCamps. Because we have the recipe for a vacation with children full of vitamin P!

We have a lot of farms where pony lovers can enjoy themselves. The best horses are not in stables but at FarmCamps!

Our horses and ponies are eager to meet you!

At all of our horse farms you can enjoy the farm life, with those sweet ponies nearby. Sleep in a luxurious, cozy and fully equipped glamping tent. Our luxury tents are fully equipped. Nice beds, a lovely couch and a kitchen with a gas stove and an espresso machine.

During the day the kids can help the farmer feed the ponies and take them out to pasture and in the evening of course back to the stable. Our ponies are all used to handling children and love to be cuddled, brushed and pampered. Braiding their manes, endless brushing and cuddling. But also a nice hike with a sweet pony, pampering care ponies or horseback riding for adults are among the possibilities! On this page you can read what is possible.

Care pony
Have you always wanted to have your “own” pony? At two of our farms you can experience what it's like to have your own pony. During the vacations your own grooming pony, how cool is that! Every day you can ride and of course brush and cuddle them whenever you want. 

Riding lessons
Always wanted riding lessons? On some of our farms you can take riding lessons from our riders, who are also certified instructors. Both experienced and non-experienced riders can improve their riding skills at FarmCamps.

A real animal mess
On our horse farms live not only horses and ponies, of course, but also many other animals. There is plenty to cuddle with rabbits, kittens and goats. Actually, on every FarmCamps farm it is always a real animal mess. But don't forget to play on the swings, race on the go-karts, jump on the trampolines or mess around with water and sand. Useful for when brother or sister get tired of the horse obsession for a while ;-)
