Donkey Village
An introduction to pony riding with the French Equestrian Federation
There will be a pop-up pony club set up in hall 6 – the equine hall – to showcase all the work done by pony clubs and equestrian centres, work that is both fun and educational.
The French Equestrian Federation will be giving children (accompanied by their parents) opportunities to try out pony riding. Use your family visit to the Paris International Agricultural Show to introduce your children to this fun and educational activity. You and your child will be supervised by a state-qualified teacher as you make your way along a specially marked out course in teams of two – to everybody's delight. What an excellent idea to have ponies at the show!
Feel free to allow yourself some selfies with our long-eared friends and immortalize your visit to the #SIA2026.
