This summer at Crindle Stables on the Causeway Coast, we’re all about fresh air, friendly horses and a proper wee adventure for the whole family. If you’re looking for family-friendly things to do in Northern Ireland, kids activities on the North Coast, or beginner horse riding in NI, our Summer Sessions are a brilliant way to get outdoors and try something new.
We specialise in teaching people to ride in a safe, positive and confidence-building way. Whether it’s your child’s first pony ride, you’re booking a family day out, or you’re a beginner wanting to learn the basics properly, our team keeps everything relaxed, supportive and fun. No pressure, no rush, just encouragement and steady progress at your own pace.
Our Summer Sessions include Countryside Treks through scenic rural trails, Adventure Rides with pony games and challenges, Toddler Pony Time for little ones, and our hands-on Day at the Stables where you can groom, learn pony care and get riding too. We also offer sensory and inclusive horse sessions, including autism-friendly pony time, welcoming children of all abilities who benefit from a calmer pace and extra support.
We’re based in Northern Ireland and welcome families and visitors from Ireland and the UK who want a memorable outdoor experience. No riding experience needed — just comfy clothes, a love of animals, and a willingness to give it a go.
