Pony Preschool is a class for children ages 3 - 6 to be introduced to horses and horsemanship. Each week children will do various activities where they will learn safe boundaries around the horses, practice motor skills needed for every day life with our equine friends, and build confidence and balance in introductory horsemanship. Classes are 60 minutes and include a combination of grooming, riding, and craft activities. An adult caregiver must participate along with the child as they rotate through the activities taking turns riding with Leah. 

​

Lesson activities incorporate early learning into both horsemanship skills and overall life skills. Activities are varied enough for your child to attend year round. 

​

​If the group times don't work for you, feel free to contact us to request a time for your group, or consider booking a 30 minute private Pony Preschool lesson.
