The British Horse Society (BHS) is excited to announce the launch of the BHS Approved Pony Party Provider scheme, with the aim to help more young people experience the true joys of horses.

Alongside opportunities for children, this exciting new initiative is designed to engage and support businesses that provide contact with ponies, through various occasions, celebrations and activities.

The Pony Party Parties scheme also aims to help promote safe, inclusive and encouraging environments for people to experience horses and ponies, with education and welfare at the heart of the approvals programme.

Approved providers will receive a range of benefits, including a listing on the BHS’s “Find an Approved Centre” search engine and the dedicated “Find a Pony Party Provider” webpage. They will also receive a BHS Gold Professional Membership and support from their dedicated regional BHS Buisness Support Manager.

Oonagh Maher, Head of Approved Centres Operations at The British Horse Society said:

“We are thrilled to launch the BHS Approved Pony Party Provider Scheme. For many children, pony parties are their first chance to experience the magic of horses, with a first meeting often transforming a young person’s life.
