Every day we learn about a new group of animals here on the farm. The children get to help care for the animals on the farm, learn what makes each of them unique, and do an arts and craft project. Every day is a new adventure!

MY FIRST PONY

A unique educational program for daycares, nursery schools, camps and other organizations.                       
We Bring the Field Trip to You!
My First Pony is a unique learning experience for children and adults alike! Children have the opportunity to learn all about ponies and how to care for them. They learn to brush and groom the pony with the different types of brushes, see how the pony is saddled or "tacked up", handle horseshoes, learn what ponies eat, how long they live and much more!

Children also play a game to learn interesting parts of the pony - i.e. withers, hock, stifle, hoof etc.     ---In the end, every child gets a pony ride.---
