Description
Paddoock Pals is a program geared towards child ages 2-4 This program is a NON-riding program. This is our version of parents and tots in a unique setting.
Paddock pals is designed to get your” lil’s” away for the television and outside to enjoy some fresh air, build milestones and meet some great ponies. “lil’ pals” and parents get the opportunity and time bonding together while interacting with our ponies, through a fun and unique hands-on experience. Paddock Pals spend time petting, grooming, and interacting with our amazing ponies. Pals meet once a week for 40 mins. We feel children in this age range attention span is very limited and they can become overwhelmed, bored or frustrated for long durations. 40 minutes has worked out beautifully in past paddock pal programs. Paddock Pals is a great stepping stone and offers an easier transition for your “lil pal” in preparation to enter our “Pee Wees” riding program which starts as young as three years old.
We feel this introduction program helps greatly improve confidence, overcoming nervousness and fear when it comes time to ride. Through this program your lil will be much more relaxed, confident and capable to handle riding for the first time. These types of parent involved programs have been proven to greatly improve the 5 key areas of development in this age range.
- Gross motor skills, fine motor skills, speech and language, cognitive and intellectual and social and emotional growth.
Classes take place indoors as there is no riding component.
