Little Explorers: Pony Adventure at a Farm in Biscay

Context This activity takes place at an educational farm located in Urizar, Biscay, a rural area where connection with nature and animals is central to the learning process. The farm features small, gentle ponies ideal for children between 2 and 5 years old. The route includes quiet country paths and meadows where the wind carries the scent of fresh grass and damp earth.

The Experience Children begin by meeting the ponies and burros, learning how to approach them respectfully while putting on helmets and protective gear. They then brush the ponies, feeling the soft texture of their coats, before a calm, guided ride supervised by experienced staff. The session ends with nature-themed crafts that encourage creativity, all set in a peaceful atmosphere filled with soft whinnies and bird songs.

For Whom This experience is designed for young children aged 2 to 5, families seeking safe, educational outdoor activities, and preschool groups. It is not suitable for older children looking for longer rides, or for people with severe animal allergies.

Local Context Urizar is a traditionally agricultural and livestock region in Biscay, where the educational farm promotes respect for nature and animals. The staff, familiar with the Basque rural environment, pass on values of care and sustainability through every activity.
