PONY PALS Learn to Ride Age 4-6
The pony pal program at Dun-Pikin
is very unique. Not many farms will teach riders younger than 7
years of age. We have designed a special program to help prepare
younger horse lovers to enter our lesson program. Young aspiring
riders (generally age 4 to 6) may enjoy our Pony Pal program. Riders
learn about riding, grooming and general horse care at a very basic
level and enjoy a lead-line walk under saddle during the 1/2-hour
session. $60/half-hour session.

Dun-Pikin Do’s and Don’ts
Lesson horses are usually safe to work around, but you must still practice
safety around the barn and horses at all times. Horses can bite, kick, move
suddenly if frightened and by virtue of their size and strength even hurt you by
accidentally bumping into you or stepping on you. Be careful! You must wear
proper footwear at all times. This is a boot that covers the ankle and has a
heel. Hiking boots are not safe to ride in while in the stirrup, so you need a
riding boot. Also use quiet voices and walk when in the barns. When walking or
leading the horses always have a lead rope or bridle on him. Please keep plenty
of distance between horses in the barn and when riding. Also keep horses tied on
cross-ties when tacking and grooming in the barn. All riders must wear an
approved riding helmet when mounted. Remember it is you we are trying to protect
with these simple rules. Please be careful!

-
Wear an approved helmet when mounted at all
times
