Pony Experience

Gallop into summer with these week-long sessions designed specifically for children who love to horse (and pony) around! Whether your child has never been around horses before or is looking to compliment any outside riding lessons that they may be taking, this camp is a great introduction to the equine world. Kids will have tons of hands-on fun learning to work safely around horses and ponies. Activities include: interaction with our horses and ponies, arts and crafts, rides, equine demonstrations and much, much more! *Please note: while there is “time in the saddle,” riding is done with a side walker and lead at a walk. Children will experience riding at least 3 times during the week, weather permitting. Care of the horse is emphasized over formal riding skills.* ASTM F1163 Regulation helmets provided as necessary for use during program.
