Pony Pals - Ages 3 - 6
Youth Programs - Ages 7 to 11
Guiding the younger horsemen of the future!
Our philosophy:
Your success is in the details! We teach safe, quality lessons through traditional horsemanship from the ground up. We work with all our riders to set fun & challenging yet obtainable goals through our unique 3 step approach.
We teach that commitment, ambition & hard work pay off & encourage riders to enjoy their success!
Pony Pals is designed for very young children to get safely acclimated with horses, pony's and the very basics of getting ready to join a general lesson program once they are old enough. Children in this program learn and develop skills at every lesson through fun activities and imagination!
