The kids get to actually ride a pony on a set path, while you lead the pony, that makes it more fun than the average pony ride at the carnival.

Before the ride

  1. Ask about age and size rules. Each stable sets its own limits for pony rides. Ask before you go so no one is disappointed.
  2. Dress for the barn. Long pants and closed shoes. Leave sandals and flip-flops at home.
  3. Ask about helmets. Many stables provide riding helmets for children. Ask, or bring a riding helmet that fits.
