Tiny Trotters An educational program for preschoolers – arts, crafts, “hands-on” interaction with animals, and pony rides.

Filly Night Group riding lessons for women held one Tuesday evening per month. We encourage youth riders to mentor adult women. This program is sponsored in part by Middlesex County Community Foundation

B.I.T. (Basics in Training) Instruction on handling and training foals and "green" horses. As part of our commitment to Premarin rescues, we invite interested students to become involved in the handling and training of young horses, and learning the techniques used to work with horses in their own language.

Sunday Afternoon Hay Rides: Fun for all ages! Sam and Cody give their farm tours Sundays from 12:00-2:00. Kids under 12 ride free, $5 suggested donation for all others. Runs through October.

Pony rides A safe and fun way for little ones
to experience the joys of riding. No reservation required. Thursdays through Saturdays 11-2:00 (suggested donation $10). Pony rides are also available through Tiny Trotters and for birthday parties.
