2021 Summer PONYSITTERS Horse Program
Calling all horse crazy kids!
Our popular Summer PONYSITTERS Horse Program is like no other! Children have the opportunity to learn to ride both English and Western on show quality, school masters with certified, professional instructors. We take pride in giving your child MORE hands-on horse and saddle time than anywhere.
Social distance socializing has never been so much fun!
Outdoor Adventure Awaits Your Child
Your child will love our Wild West Scavenger and Treasure Hunts, Pony Piñata Parties, Western Woodworking Projects, Equine Trivia Show Downs at the PONYSITTERS Corral, History through Horses, Cowboy/Cowgirl Crafting, Picnics with the PONYSITTERS, Old Town Photographing, Calf Roping, authentic, Frontier Day games and country cook-outs.
GROWING UP THESE DAYS IS TOUGH ENOUGH!
Physical activity with horses and horseback riding has been proven to lower stress levels, improve concentration, focus, learning, memory, problem solving skills and build confidence.
LIVE DEMOS AND INTERACTIVE CLASSES
Gathering around the PONYSITTERS Corral has long been a popular past time as children come together to watch, learn and have the opportunity to be part of LIVE demonstrations and INTERACTIVE classes with professional veterinarians, farriers, equine bodyworkers, clinicians and legendary horse people.
Summer fun is here!
We welcome children of all school ages to our Summer PONYSITTERS Horse Program. We have found that the peer to peer mentorship that occurs from mixed age groups benefits everyone. Children who are on the cusp of school age are considered for registration on a case by case basis and as space and staffing allows. Our Summer Horse Program sells out VERY quickly. Please pre-register your child(ren) early to save their spot.
FRESH MOUNTAIN AIR and WIDE OPEN SPACES
JL Performance Horses prides itself on providing parents peace of mind that their child(ren) is being encouraged to learn and succeed in a COVID FREE environment. Since the start of the pandemic, we have had ZERO COVID cases! We adhere to guidelines from our State, County and CDC. We maintain compliance with legally required NYS Cleaning Logs and have BOH approval.
