Most people think our programs are about learning to ride horses, however some of the biggest lessons kids learn around horses have nothing to do with riding.
Pony Pamper Day was all about getting hands-on with the ponies. The kids spent the morning brushing, washing, painting hooves, braiding manes and decorating, with plenty of time for crafts, riding and arena games too.
While the pampering is always a hit, there’s more to it than making the ponies look pretty. Taking care of an animal teaches kids to slow down, be gentle and pay attention to how their actions could affect another.
Stablehand Day gave the kids a chance to get involved in the daily jobs that come with caring for horses. The kids got involved in the jobs around the property and experienced a side of horse care that goes beyond the fun parts. Feeding, grooming and helping out might seem like small tasks, but they show kids what it means to be responsible for another living thing.
Both days offer different ways for kids to learn around horses, whether that's through the patience involved in grooming or the responsibility that comes with their care.
And looking back at these photos, there was plenty of fun along the way, too! A big thank you to all the families who joined us for our school holiday events! We loved having you here!💛
