Daisy Scouts
We offer two 2-hour programs for Daisy Scouts. Fun with Horses and Horse Ready. Our "horses" are pony size and, in accordance with Safety-wise, every rider will be led by a trained staff member.
Since there are no petals or badges for horseback riding, we designed our own fun patch sessions. Each Daisy will have a hands-on experience grooming, riding, learning the parts of the horse, and making a treat for the horses. The girls will receive a fun patch.
