Tiny Horses Program
The Tiny Horses Program is your child's chance to immerse themselves in the horse experience and get ready for horseback riding lessons in the future.
The program runs by individual book as you go or 4 week sessions. Each lesson is focused on a different aspect of horses. Students will be taught how to take care of a horse, including: feeding, grooming, parts of the horse, first aid, types of horse tack, proper leading, groundwork for creating confident horse people and more. This is the best package for students who are too young to enter our riding program (6 years of age), or for those who would like to go back to the basics to fine-tune their horse skills on the ground.
Each session is individually catered to each student's age and experience level. We even are accepting adults into this program, because we can all learn the valuable aspects and lessons of horse ownership --regardless of our age.
All ponies used in this program are 13 hands and below, the shortest at our farm (less intimating for our students).
FUN FACT: The main distinction between ponies and horses is height. A horse is usually considered to be an equine that's at least 14.2 hands (or about four feet ten inches) tall. A pony, on the otherhand (pun totally intended!), is an equine less than 14.2 hands.
