PeeWee Pony School
 |

It takes a village to get kids to ride. Right: we see Mom and Dad with their pee wee kid and school guide, followed by a solo rider on his third lesson and his first big horse.

We developed PeeWee pony school about ten years ago due to popular demand. Most pony schools have one pony, which six kids ride in one session or they strap kids onto a merry-go-round and call that, "learning to ride." This is not what we do. At Epona Farms we build confidence and assure your child has a positive and responsible first experience. At our Saturday morning school the Pee Wee kids learn to groom and take care of their own little horse. They get over any possible fears real quick. The horses are not threatening because they are small like the kids and we have at least six tiny horse "buddies" at all times. Our kids can ride large minis, Shetland's and small POAs because we fit each student with the right mount. 65% of our PeeWee riders go on to take at least one PeeWee camp. So be sure to call first and then drop by for a tour on Saturday Morning. We are on site most weeks, unless we are away at a school or show. |

When kids get this good their sense of accomplishment is profound and that self-esteem carries over into home and classroom activities as well as future leadership skills.
