Pony Rides at Lawton Stables

Lawton Stables, nestled in the heart of Hilton Head Island, is home to a group of friendly Shetland ponies just waiting to meet your little equestrians. These gentle creatures are specially chosen for their calm temperament and small stature, making them ideal companions for young children taking their first steps into the world of horseback riding.

The pony rides at Lawton Stables are designed with your child's safety and enjoyment in mind. Each ride consists of two laps around the animal farm, giving your little one plenty of time to experience the thrill of sitting atop a real pony. Of course, your little one won’t be alone, a member of the Lawton Stables team leads each ride, ensuring your child's security and allowing you to capture those precious moments on camera.

While the pony rides are designed for children seven years and younger, Lawton Stables recommends that riders be at least 18 months old and able to sit up independently to ensure that your child can fully enjoy and safely experience the ride. It's a perfect activity for toddlers and young children who are developing their sense of balance and adventure.

The fun continues beyond the pony rides. Lawton Stables also features an animal farm where your family can meet and greet a variety of friendly farm animals, including goats, miniature donkeys, pigs, alpacas, chickens, and more ponies. 

Are you looking for big kid fun? Lawton Stables also offers one-hour guided trail rides for older riders. If you have kiddos who have outgrown ponies but want to experience the thrill of riding horseback, Lawton Stables has you covered.
