For children not quite ready for full equestrian camp, we offer an unforgettable summer experience with our Summer Buddies on the Farm program!

Kids spend their days on the farm immersing themselves in the energy of farm life, learning farm chores, getting creative with arts and crafts, playing exciting games, going on pony rides, and exploring nature on hikes around the beautiful property.

Our small groups ensure individual attention, while the abundance of fresh air provides a great escape from technology. Children are required to wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots and dress appropriately for the weather. Program runs rain or shine.

Get your kids ready for an amazing summer adventure at US Horse Welfare and Rescue!
