Summer fun: kids' days out in the UK | Travel | The Guardian: "Own a pony for the day, Carmarthenshire

Equine-obsessed offspring? Carmarthenshire's Marros Riding Centre holds 'Own a Pony' days every Wednesday during the holidays. Suitable for kids aged eight up, the day includes a lesson and a hack, plus lots of hands-on horsey fun, from grooming and tack cleaning to mucking out. Family members not suffering from pony-itis can hit the beach: deserted (bar the occasional naturist) Marros Sands is a 20-minute walk and Pendine Sands just minutes by car. Many stables across the UK hold similar days: to find your nearest approved school, go online at the British Horse Society (bhs.org.uk) or the Association of British Riding Schools (abrs-info.org).

• 01994 453777, marros-farm.co.uk. Full day including lunch £52.50, half day £39.50"
