Pony Pals is about much more than just riding – Lottie learns about caring for a horse too, and studies for achievement badges covering subjects like feeding, equipment, pony behaviour and grooming. As well as trying to improve her riding, Lottie makes new friends who share her love of ponies. It’s always good fun; some days are themed with treasure hunts, treat making for ponies and lots of other pony activities.

Seren the Welsh Mountain Pony wears a saddle, bridle, stirrups and numnah (a saddle pad that acts as a protective cushion between the pony and the saddle).

Since her launch in 2012 Lottie has proven to be an aspirational role model for young children. She’s fun and educational, but also possesses a child-like body and dresses in typical child fashion to be age appropriate. Lottie has received 19 awards in the USA, Canada, and UK while winning the hearts of many along the way. She’s the perfect addition to any family.
