How we champion young riders with our Junior Jockeys program

We believe it’s never too early to nurture confidence, compassion, and responsibility. Our Junior Jockeys program does just that!
Our Junior Jockeys program is designed specifically for children ages 5 to 7 and introduces young riders to the world of equestrianism in a fun, safe and structured environment. From grooming their first pony right through to their first trot, our youngest riders experience more than just a sport, they learn life skills and have so much fun during the process.
“Junior Jockeys introduces younger riders to the magical world of horses, building confidence, empathy and a love for horses. It’s magical to see our young riders grow in confidence as they master horse care skills and become comfortable in the saddle”.

With Junior Jockeys, riders get beginner riding lessons, horsemanship education and play interactive games that blends learning with laughter. Each child is always paired with a gentle pony and are taught by experienced instructors with leaders at hand until they’re independent enough to ride solo. There is no time frame on how long this can take – so rest assured, until they are ready, they will always have someone right beside them.

Studies have long shown that equestrian activities can benefit children’s emotional and mental development. Caring for a horse encourages responsibility and empathy, while riding helps young minds connect with their bodies, enhancing self-awareness and resilience.

“It’s amazing to see our Junior Jockeys grow as riders and the cutest little individuals. Watching them improve, build confidence, and develop their skills through our programs is truly rewarding”.
