About
Spring Creek Horse Rides’ Pony Patrol rides are a 20-25 minute ride on our ponies/small horses through our beautiful property.
This ride is perfect for little kids.
One of our highly skilled and experienced staff will supervise and guide you as you walk with, and lead, the child/ren on the ponies.
What to Know
Please ensure all riders are wearing long pants and long sleeves. We also recommend that both riders and adults leading wear boots as it is very muddy.
Spring Creek Horse Rides advises you bring a jacket with you in case of rain, as rides will continue regardless of weather – except in extreme storm conditions where you will be contacted to reschedule the booking.
We require an adult to lead each horse.

Long pants and long sleeves protect against mud and scratches; bring a jacket if rain is likely.
Adult supervision required
An adult must lead each pony to ensure safety and control throughout the ride.
