We are planning to do our Mounted Games Program once a week on Saturdays,(minimum of 4 riders) . It is a lot of fun and is very good for balance and coordination. These practices are open to riders of all ages. Outsiders are welcome too, but must have riding experience and be able to at least walk and trot confidently. The cost is $40/practice but you must call or email to reserve a spot and, if needed, a pony (you can bring your own pony). These Saturday games can be paid for as you can attend but you must call to register early in the week.
