About
This is geared to the 4 to 7 year old Cowpoke (but, anyone ages 4-12 could do it). It is around a half an hour long. We take the kiddo's and get them all dressed up in Chaps and a hat for a few photo's and then we put a little helmet on them and let them brush and pet the horse while learning a little horse safety. Then we put them up and lead them around for 15 minutes or so. We use horses for this activity not ponies.
More Info
This experience is with a horse, not a pony. Ponies can be little stinkers.
