“We had an amazing pony party at wild oats over the weekend. The kids and adults had heaps of fun interacting with lambs, ponies, horses, donkeys, bunnies, chickens, guinea pigs and more. Brilliant value for money and wonderful hosts. Put this on your list, there are so many options available, from therapy, riding lessons, treks, parties and more I'm sure”
