Pony Play

Recommended for the younger children ages 2.5 to 4.

This is a seven week outdoor pony play, designed to give families special one-on-one time with their very own pony.

An instructor will introduce you and your child to your pony and while you are 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 comb manes and tails.  Together with your child, you will learn basic lead-line skills to take your child on a lovely guided pony ride around the ranch.

Every week you will be leading your pony on natural trails around the ranch, touring the home ranch pastures, visiting cows, barn owls and enjoy other spring surprises!

Class is one hour in duration and then families are welcome to enjoy the ranch play area and the other small animals.
