Dinky Hooves offers private miniature Shetland pony experiences near Ashbourne, on the edge of the Peak District.
Spend 60 minutes meeting Tess, Millie and Winnie, our friendly miniature Shetland ponies. Each experience is private to your group, giving you plenty of time to groom the ponies, learn about their personalities, enjoy gentle walks and take photographs.
Designed for families, couples and animal lovers, our experiences offer a relaxed opportunity to spend quality time with the ponies in a peaceful countryside setting. No previous horse or pony experience is required.
Every visit is exclusively for your group. Unlike busy attractions, you'll have uninterrupted time with the ponies in a calm, relaxed setting without crowds or shared sessions at a pre-arranged, pre-booked time, so you can unwind and enjoy a slow-paced experience with your partner, friends and family away from the crowds.
Meet Our Miniature Shetlands and get hands-on experience with them, walk them, brush them, and spend time with them in the Derbyshire countryside. Learn some fun pony facts, learn about each of the girls' personalities, and what makes them tick, in a relaxed countryside atmosphere. They can't wait to meet you.
A Peaceful Countryside Escape, surrounded by hills, greenery, sheep, rabbits, birds of prey like red kites and buzzards, there's plenty to see here other than ponies and the more you slow down, the more you tune into your surroundings and the more you see. This is a peaceful and tranquil experience.
