Junior Pony Club

Junior Pony Club runs all winter.  You may use your own horse or one of ours.  We have two tracks... one that is mounted and one that is not.  The unmounted track is the first Sat of every month and is FREE.   Our goal with the unmounted track is to expose children and parents to horses in a structured program.  You join the one that best fits your budget and time constraints.  

The FREE unmounted classes can earn the first level girl scout badge.  

We follow the United Stated Pony Club curriculum and complete an informative 200 page activity book.  When we finish the sessions your child is well on their way to being able to do the first United States Pony Club rating test.. the D1.

We will complete a minimum of 10 badges that encompass the things we are learning about horses and ponies including, Horse Care, Stable Management, Grooming, Safe Riding and others.   There are 20 Badges total, 1/2 are mounted, 1/2 are not. 

Mounted classes are once a week and run 2+ hours.  Each week is a full course on a particular topic  and includes  40min of ride time. 

What is the best part?  It is fun!  And there is lots of cuddle time  with one of our darling ponies !

There is a materials cost  of $60 which includes a barn jacket, badges and 200 page workbook.

Mounted classes are $50 a class.  Mounted classes are limited to 4 children on two ponies.  The curriculum is designed for each "pair" to work together with their pony.   Each child will get a minimum of 40 Min of ride time.

Space is limited.  Please call immediately to register for Fall 2009.  If you are registering for the free ummounted track we ask that you register with a friend since many of the activities are done in pairs.   916-947-6238
