The purpose of Kids Club is to have a fun, social outlet for area kids to get to know each other & spend some time with a horse. There will be some basic, age appropriate riding instruction for safety, and kids will be encouraged to increase their skill level, but if you are looking for structured riding lessons, this is not it!
For September thru October 2016 we will be having sessions on Saturdays. (No rides on October 1st, but come out for our Volunteer day!)
What you need to do to start:
- Read our Rules.
- Fill out a Liability Release Form.
- Fill out and email the Sign Up Form. Signing up MUST be done by the Friday before the Ride, but EARLY sign ups are highly Encouraged!
