Mounted Games is great fun and a sport easy for all ages and abilities to take part in. At Wheatland we run fun games sessions throughout the year and offer the opportunity to compete at friendly and Pony Club run events. The great thing about games is it can be run inside or out, on grass or on an arena and we have a great range of equipment for the members to try a huge variety of different races. Our mounted Games fun session are always well supported and greatly enjoyed.
