Birthday Parties

Birthday parties are available at Stepney and are perfect if you are struggling for ideas or want to do something completely different to make your child's party a memorable one! The birthday boy or girl and up to five friends can come for a hour of riding followed by a further hour grooming the ponies and playing games.

If you wish to round off the party with a party tea we have a room avaiable for a small additional charge. We are not able to cater for the party ourselves but if you wish to bring your own food you are welcome to use our activity room or you may wish to contact Mar Mars (our on-site cafe) to discuss catering options.

Pony Club

Stepney Bank Stables is a registered centre with The Pony Club of Great Britain, it is a very popular source of equine information for young people. The Stepney Bank Stables Pony Club currently runs during school holidays for that extra special day of fun.

Through the Pony Club we make it possible for all ages to gain access to equestrian education. We cater for our very young riders in our special under 8’s session, where they can learn along with their parents.

The Pony Club has proved to be a great way of bringing like-minded young people together to learn whilst having fun.

As well as our regular weekly sessions we offer opportunities for young people to visit other centres for example the Northumbria Police Stables, as well as visiting competitions and shows.

The Pony Club is a great place for young people to learn horsey skills which will take them into volunteering or even employment.

Please book in advance.

Own Your Own Pony Activities

This course is designed to give children a taster of what it is like to have a pony of your very own. They get involved in all the hard work caring for the pony of their choice including cleaning out the stable, washing and grooming.
