CHILDREN’S SUMMER RIDING AND HORSEMANSHIP PROGRAM
|
 |
| WELL DONE! |
|
|
River Song Farm and Stables offers an extensive children’s riding and horsemanship program during the month of June. The program is designed for the needs and abilities of children between the ages of six and sixteen who are interested in horses and horsemanship.
|
The program begins with a lecture or demonstration designed to further the students’ education in horsemanship. A wide range of topics will be covered such as care and grooming of the horse, correct use and care of horse equipment and tack, the responsibilities of horse care and stable safety. Following the discussion, the day’s activities include grooming and tacking up the horses, riding lessons in English and Western styles, trail rides, feeding and care of horses, stable care lessons, and indoor activities on rainy days.

| EVALUATION LESSON
We strongly suggest an initial evaluation lesson for those students who have never ridden before, have ridden somewhere else or are returning to riding after an absence. This allows us to place each student in the group appropriate to their present riding ability.

HOURS
9am-4pm Monday through Thursday, 9am-1pm Friday.
Please call for available dates.

SATURDAY MORNING CHILDREN’S RIDING PROGRAM
River Song Farm and Stables offers a Saturday morning children’s riding program from September through June from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, which is an abbreviated version of the Summer Riding Program. Children will receive both English and Western riding lessons, go on trail rides, and receive instruction in a wide range of subjects relating to horses and horsemanship. Drop off your child, run your errands without interruption, then pick up your child three hours later, all your weekend work completed and ready to enjoy the weekend with your family! Call (515) 993-3111 for available dates and rates - but call soon, this is a very popular program and space is limited!
