Amanda is a life long horse lover with over 40 years of horse ownership experience. "As a pony mad child I dreamt of Father Christmas leaving me a pony at the bottom of my bed on Christmas day. Whilst that dream never materialised, I had riding lessons from the age of five and at eleven, a chance visit to a distant cousin resulted in us taking possession of an orphaned foal. That was the beginning
of a delightful association with a number of ponies and horses, including pony holidays, carriage driving, competing and breeding my own foals." Having children brought little ponies into the mix and with them, Amanda started one of the first pony party businesses in the UK, Cheshire Pony Parties in 2008. She estimates she's entertained almost 2000 children (and adults!) with her ponies. Amanda is known for engaging children both as an entertainer at her pony parties but also as an educator - she has been praised for her educational chocolate workshops in primary schools. She holds the British Horse Society Stable Management qualification and is a fully qualified accountant and tax adviser too! Her ponies are happy, healthy fluffy and friendly and are inspected regularly by Cheshire West and Cheshire as part of Amanda's license. Amanda holds the top 5* licence, number 25/AAL/RS/549913
Her orchard setting is stunning and has been described as a 'photographer's dream' by a professional photographer. It regularly stops parents in their tracks.
