Pony Play
(Wednesday am)
This is an outdoor class for a guardian and child to do together with a pony. Recommended for smaller and/or quieter children ages 2.5 to 4.
This 4 week series is designed to give small children one-on-one time with their very own pony together with Mom and/or Dad. While enjoying the horses at your own comfortable pace you’ll learn horsie basics such as how to brush and comb your pony, pick up their little feet and decorate and braid manes and tails. Together with your child you’ll be leading and walk your pony over, through and under fun obstacles as we tour different ranch pastures.
Unique horsie ranch crafts may be incorporated (weather depending).
Class Dates: Oct 17, 24, 31 and Nov 7 from 10 to 11 am
Cost: $100
