A unique opportunity to connect with miniature horses while learning essential skills. Open to children age 5 & older, teens, and adults!

In these lessons, you'll delve into the fundamentals of horse care, including grooming, the proper use of halters and leads, and safe leading techniques. More than just handling horses, this program fosters personal growth and development through the special bond between humans and animals.
