If you are 3-6 years old, you are ready for Pony Camp! Perfect for younger kids and those not sure if they are ready for a full day of full-size horses. The basic skills needed for horse camp are taught in pony camp. Yes, you do get to ride the pony a lot! First the kids lead, groom, saddle, learn some ground skills and then ride, ride, ride. If the kids are feeling a little tuckered out, they can stop for snack at any time, get a drink, visit the restroom, or jump into the petting zoo. You are in our backyard and we want you to learn from kind, experienced instructors in a playful, safe atmosphere.
