What Can I do?

[Shantara]

Well, it's my birthday tomorrow! However, I'm working, so I won't get a chance to do much (Apart from go out for a Chinese meal, yum!) and I'm allowed to do what I want on saturday

I live in Milton Keynes (Bucks) and I was wondering if any of you know of anything horsey that I could do around that area?

Thanks in advance

ETA:
It has to be something the family (or atleast my mum) could join in with, so a riding lesson probably wouldn't be the best thing. Maybe a rescue centre I could visit, or a race or...well, something along those lines

Woburn safari park?

Good idea! But we've kinda done that place to death My parents refuse to take me, even on my birthday!

That was about my only idea It's been a while since I lived in that area

Happy birthday for tomorrow

Have a look at the websites of both Addington (r Buckingham) and Bury Farm( nr Leighton Buzzard/ Dunstable). There maybe things on at one of them. Or,if you fancied London,try a hack round Hyde Park. Quite surreal,riding alongside the mad traffic in Park Lane etc! There are proper horse tracks around the park.
Happy birthday!

It might be further than you want to travel but there is racing at Sandown on Saturday.

Not horsey,but Another place I have had really good experience of is Paradise wildlife park at Broxbourne,its not far from Enfield. We fed the tigers there and hada fab "behind the scenes" day,but it is very hands on,and you can feed and stroke the camels/reindeer/zebra etc etc.

 

[Shantara]

Oooh, Horse Trust might be good :O

Sadly, Sandown is a little far, but I would like to go there one day

ETA: Broxbourne sounds good too thanks everyone!

POLO POLO POLO POLO POLO. Polo is ace and you don't need to be a great rider either.

POLO!! Google yards around you, many do taster sessions etc.

If you are interested in hunting you could go visit local hunt meet? Always nice atmosphere and nice to see everyone setting off together

 

[Shantara]

Oooh, Polo might be fun I LOVE polo ponies and love watching it
Even if I don't do it for my birthday, I'm going to google it

I wouldn't do 'proper' hunting (I love foxy-woxies! haha) but I'd certainly do a drag hunt The only problem is, I don't have a horse D: It'd have to be out with the local hunt and I don't they've got anything soon
