HAPPA

Nestled in expansive greenery and overlooking the scenic Thursden Valley in Burnley, lies a hidden gem: the home of HAPPA (Horses and Ponies Protection Association). This site offers all the amenities of a top-tier, award-winning tourist attraction. Enjoy homemade delicacies and cakes at The Café @ Shores Hey Farm*, and keep the kids entertained at the outdoor park or on the Facts With Fergus Trail.

 

HAPPA’s Education Team offer a variety of courses and demonstrations throughout the year, providing insights into equine services and horsemanship techniques. Educational activities for children include Own A Pony, Pony Squad, and Pony Grooming Sessions.

 

Groups can tour the facilities or engage in educational programs focused on animal welfare through our Equine Action Team. Whether you have a specific learning objective or need a customized educational experience, we've got you covered.

 

HAPPA Direct, both onsite and online, features a fantastic selection of equine and animal-related gifts for children, as well as a range of new and second-hand tack and equine essentials, including clothing.

 

Visit the Second-hand Book Room, or let younger visitors explore and learn in the activity room or outdoor play area.

 

Year-round activities and events include family fun days, novelty dog shows, Halloween parties, and visits from Santa.
