Once Upon A Horse offers programs and parties
designed to introduce horses and riding to the young or inexperienced.
We start children from the ages of 2 through 10 with age appropriate
activities including a You and Me and Pony Makes Three class, Pony
& Pizza Play Days, The Pony Planet, and Birthday Parties, and
Day Camps during Spring and Summer.
We also offer private and group lessons. English and Western styles
of riding are covered along with basic grooming and handling.
We started a "group lesson" this year which consists
of 4-5 students and is run from 12:00-3:00 on Saturdays. We have
varying levels of riders some who can tack up and ride without assistance
and some newer riders who benefit from their experience while finding
their way. The atmosphere is one of sharing and socializing, and
learning continues for us all.
We also offer private lessons scheduled to suit your needs.
All packages are prepaid. And all private lessons are by appointment.

Lessons
We offer lessons for children as young as two years of age in a safe,
encouraging, fun environment. Some classes require parent participation,
and others give kids the change to spend the day at the barn with
our horses and riding instructors.
Parties and Field Trips
Birthday parties, no-school-day parties, Winter and Summer parties—you
name it, and we can organize it for you. We offer field trips, too,
that you can customize to suit your preferences.
Camps
Our camps give young cowpokes a chance to spend several days with
us, riding, gardening, painting, learning about horses, and just
having a good time.
