WHF offers a both Pony Rides and Lessons 1-2 days per week in both the morning and afternoon. Lessons are often booked in advance by regular clients, so please email us directly to see if a space opens up.
We sometimes offer Self-Guided pony rides for parents who are familiar with horses and comfortable leading the ponies around by themselves. *Note: You must have at least one lesson here first and be PRE-APPROVED to use this option.
Please see calendar for pricing. Rates are based on number of ponies participating as well as number of children visiting. Guests may double up and bring another friend to split the ride. Younger children especially typically like to spend half the time with the other animals and half riding. Sharing the ride with friends is the most economical way to visit!
Visits include grooming and riding the ponies, greeting the donkey, feeding the goats and alpacas, trying to catch the bunnies and guinea pigs, petting a kitty, as well as admiring the turkeys and chickens.
Pony Rides and Lessons use either Sophie or Cinnamon and are planned based on the child’s age and experience. The ponies are tacked up with surcingles, bareback pads or saddles depending on the skill of the rider.
Rides are given both in our arena and around the property and repeat guests may request to ride our local loop in Tuna Canyon park.
Pony rides are given by our Junior Barn Helpers so they may earn money to put towards their own goals and dreams. We have four knowledgeable Junior Barn Helpers who you can read more about HERE.
WHF also encourages riding as therapy for children with physical disabilities or special needs, so please let us know your situation to determine if we can be of service to you.
