Supervised pony rides give young children the thrill of riding and a little horse experience!<\/p>\n<p>Our mini-lessons provide your child the opportunity to pet and\/or brush a pony, feed it a treat, and of course go for a pony ride! Each rider will have minimum 15 minutes of hand-led riding time in either the indoor or outdoor arena, plus some extra time with the pony before or after the ride. At the discretion of the trainer after observing the ability of the rider, they will be given introductory instruction in skills such as: correct riding position, balance essentials, how to make the pony stop, go, turn and the opportunity to practice what they just learned by playing various games.<\/p>\n<h4>Why MINI-LESSONS are FUN on the PONIES at SHADY CREEK FARM &#8230;<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Children often love to brush, pet and feed the ponies as much as they love to ride them \u2013 and the ponies <em>definitely<\/em> love being brushed, getting lots of pats and hugs and eating carrots and apple slices. Feel free to bring treats for the ponies that you can give them when the instructor says it&#8217;s snack time!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Grandparents have a special activity to entertain the grandchildren<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduce young children to horses and horseback riding in a fun, positive way<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Wondering if your child is ready for regular riding lessons?
