Lucky Horseshoes & A
Leprechaun Hunt on Horseback

A family ranch event for ages 3 to 13.

UPDATE: Due to Mother Nature’s Snow Storm advisory for this area we are post-poning this event.  New date is Sunday, March 22nd.

UPDATE 2: Doing our part to ‘flatten the curve’ on the growth of Corona Virus, we are cancelling this event. 

The whole family is welcome to come enjoy this ranch  event and you’ll want to schedule a good 2 hours of fun.  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 have horse experience, or you and your child have attended a previous HorsePlay session you are welcome to handle and lead your own pony for your child.  Alternatively, one of our handlers will be happy to help you lead.

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:  All inclusive cost is $55 per child.  Recommended age group is 3 to 13 years of age.

* Adults and babes under 2 are free.

Please bring your child’s helmet.

Four times to choose from: 10 am, 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3 pm.

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.
