Frequently Asked Questions About Horse‑riding Holidays Without Your Own Horse or pony

What makes a holiday with horses and ponies different from a regular holiday?

A holiday with horses and ponies is all about the experience. You are not just staying in a special place, but also spending time with horses and ponies every day. Children build a bond with the animals, learn how to care for them and discover how fun riding can be. That is something you are not likely to experience in a hotel or holiday park.

Not at all! FarmCamps offers stays on farms with horses and ponies already on site. Equipment and guidance are included, so you don’t need your own horse or pony.

Is a holiday with horses and ponies in the Netherlands suitable for beginners?

Yes, absolutely. For many children, this is actually the place where they have their very first ride. The ponies are gentle and calm, and everything takes place under professional guidance. That makes it a fun and safe experience for beginners and young riders.

What do kids learn during a holiday with horses or ponies?

More than riding! They learn animal care, responsibility, trust, and enjoy time in nature. It’s a meaningful experience they’ll never forget.
