Lucky Horseshoes & A
Leprechaun Hunt on Horseback
An 1.5 hr family ranch event for ages 3 to 13.
The whole family is welcome to come enjoy a solid hour of relaxed fun riding your own horse or pony around the ranch. The riding goal for the day for families will be to find their own lucky horseshoe that the Leprechaun is hiding! During this scavenger hunt everyone will enjoy the beautiful outdoors, encounter obstacles, look for baby calves, and savor some St. Patrick’s day treasures along the way.
Leprechaun Hunt: If you and your child have attended a
previous Pony Play class or Ranch Adventure your welcome to handle your own pony all on your own, or one of our handlers will be happy to guide you.
Lucky Horseshoes: Little ranchers will finish their ride with Lucky Horseshoes hanging off their saddle horns. They’ll be dismounting like professional cowgirls and cowboys right at the craft table and decorate their special horseshoe using quality organic materials harvested from the ranch. This craft will likely take 30 minutes to complete.
Details: Cost for Pony rental, real steel horseshoe including crafts is $45 per child. (Total HorsePlay time is 1.5 hrs.)
* Adults and babes under 2 are free.
Please bring your child’s helmet.
Four times to choose from: 10 am, 11:30 am, 1 pm, and 2:30 pm.
