We offer unique hands on experiential learning for children and adults with horses! Contact us today to see what we can offer your group. We can work with Girl Scout troops, Boy Scout troops, Home School groups, Schools, Day Cares, Youth Groups, Church Groups, etc to create a customized experience to fit your needs and wants! We are willing to work with you to develop a personalized and unique experience for your group. If you have Troop badges/patches* that need to meet certain requirements we can help the children achieve them as well.
