Pony Pals

Interested in a fun, inclusive program for your child aged 5-8?

Our inclusive Pony Pals program is open to children aged 5 to 8 years old. During Pony Pals, children get the opportunity to interact with our therapy horses and learn about various aspects of horse care. Each week the participants rotate through various stations and during the final week, they will be given the opportunity to participate in a pony ride! Our Pony Pals program is offered seasonally, so keep your eyes on our social media pages to find out when the next session of Pony Pals will be offered.

*We require submission of our Registration Form for all applicants and a Primary Care Provider Referral Form may be requested to ensure your child has no riding contraindications for a pony ride on the last week.
