The Brussels Poney Club, managed by the association 'The ponies of the Bois de la Cambre', is responsible for the manege. The official opening will take place on Wednesday 31 March at 2 pm. The riding school on the Allée des Amazones (near the Théâtre de Poche) has 6 ponies and 1 larger horse.

Permit of the City of Brussels

The association got the license from the City of Brussels for recreational and educational activities with ponies in the Bois de la Cambre. The admission had to meet certain conditions surrounding animal rights, socio-professional integration, education, environment and safety. For example, one person with a small handicap takes care of the animals. The welfare of the ponies was also very important. The horses do not sleep in the Bois de la Cambre because of he possible nuisance for the animals but in a meadow in Uccle.

Opening hours

The opening hours depend on the season, the holidays and the weather. The pony rides will be held from April to October - if the weather is good - on:

• Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 2 pm to 6 pm
• all holidays from 2 pm to 6 pm

Price

The pony rides work with pennies. A penny costs 5 euro and entitles you to one walk of 10 minutes. Five pennies cost 20 euro. The ride takes place in the Allée des Amazones or on a closed sand track. Private lessons are only possible by appointment. These lessons cost 15 euro per half hour.
