Such a wonderful family friendly place changing horses, ponies and other animals life.
Never met a harder working bunch of people in my life.

Amazing is an understatement.

Highly recommended for visitors from April to early December open every Sunday and bank holiday Mondays.

You can literally see the change in the ponies & horses appearance almost within a week... priceless work EHPPS xxx

Great place for small family outing. Horses and ponies are adorable. We paid 2 £ per adult, kids under 5 go free. They have a small cafe there. Besides horses you can see other animals such as goats, pigs, hens.

Went here for the afternoon, cost £4.00 for one adult and two children, was a lovely afternoon stroking the horses, there’s a cafe and little shop. Lovely little afternoon out for just a fue pounds 🐴

Putting this in writing for you so it’s documented. I sincerely hope you are not ticking boxes and have learnt your lesson where My Indi(Indigo) is concerned and your not going to carry out the procedure that you I told you not too. Which you did on the 1st December 2021 which resulted in her been hospitalised due to your incompetence.

my big boy went over the rainbow on the 5th November, and unfortunately I made the wrong decisions to let my baby girl Indi go to Ehpps, unfortunately they chose not to listen to my advise with her subsequently she was rushed to the vets Saturday 4th December. She’s survived thank god but was sent back to Ehpps where I fear for her. As of last Monday they have cut of contact and refused to let me see her and she saying I neglected her and that there saving her when actually it was there actions that made her colic 🤬 that’s about as far as I can share atm as further action is taking place for her to be retuned safely back to me. There too busy ticking boxes on papers to if taken onboard what I told them. My poor Indi

Best Sunday I've had for ages. At the end of each month theirs an open day. £2.00 per adult and children £1 for Children. Amazing staff. Very helpful. Charity shop bought 2 horse hats for £1.00 and a cat ornament. We Had a tea and coffee ☕ from the cafe. Lovley lady serving. Beautiful horses.pigs.goats.2 cats. Chickens etc. Will be going again at the end of this month. Brilliant for children and adults . Great few hours out. Just a shame the weather wasn't very good. If you get a chance to go you won't be disappointed.

Brilliant place to go - especially with the kids! We've been 4 times now and with a different sized group each tim3. They have a café, a gift shop, toilets, their own pre-loved goods shop and many, many horses and ponies to meet! For just £7, you can groom a pony and there is always someone on site happy to answer all of your questions!

The only reason I haven't given a 5 star rating is because the hot chocolates weren't stirred very well and they were way too hot for the children despite me politely asking the lady not to make them too hot.

Nice grounds, decent stables and very caring staff.

The ponies are wonderful and well cared for. We attended the open day with the dog show and it was very busy. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
