Creative exploration and learning. Inclusive, outdoor, equestrian environment.
Program Overview
Welcoming all individuals, Thorncroft’s Pony Tales sessions invites our equine enthusiasts of all abilities to learn more about our horse and pony friends while sparking their creativity in a natural environment.
Sessions will be tailored to each individual participant or family and what they would like to learn. Lessons can include activities such as learning how to groom, how to lead your horse, story time (for our younger friends), and nature walks around the Farm. We look forward to speaking with you to hear your ideas as well!
All sessions will be thirty minutes and will be unmounted. No horseback riding will occur at any of the sessions.
Sessions will be led by a Thorncroft staff member and will be limited to two families at a time with a max of five people per family. No prior horse experience is necessary.
Enrollment is on a monthly basis.
