Nothing big and scary here! Your little ones will be guided by two of the most adorable, gentle mini horses you've ever laid eyes on: Gabby, our fancy prancing filly who makes every child giggle the moment she struts into view, and Aurora, our brave and beautiful girl who survived eye cancer and teaches children — without saying a word — that being different makes you extraordinary.In 90 magical minutes, your budding equestrian will:

• 🖌️ Learn to groom a real horse with a real brush
• 🪢 Lead a mini horse on a halter and rope
• 🐴 Identify important parts of horse anatomy
• 💛 Practice safe, respectful, confident interaction with horses
• ✂️ Complete an age-appropriate craft to reinforce what they've learned
• 🎓 Earn their very own Little Equestrian Certificate

Classes are held in a shaded pavilion with fans — because we believe the best mornings are cool, calm, and full of horses. Cold water is always on the house.After class, the fun keeps going until noon:

• 🏊 Take a splash in our famous Cowboy Pool — bring your swimsuit!
• 🦋 Wander through our stunning butterfly gardens
• 🐖 Visit our beloved sanctuary animals — pigs, goats, chickens, and more
• 🛝 Play in our children's play areas
• 🛍️ Browse the gift shop for something special to remember the day

This is more than a class. It's a morning your child will talk about for years.
