Tiny Trotters
Your Child's First Ride
Watch your child light up during a 30-minute horseback ride. Our calm horses and patient instructors are great with kids ages 3-6, and we make sure their first time in the saddle goes well. Only $75 per rider.
What to Expect
How It Works
After checking in at the barn and meeting their instructor, your child will learn about their horse, go over safety basics, and get fitted with a helmet.
- 5-minute arrival: check in at the barn, meet the instructor, and hear about the day
- Meet the horse and go over safety rules
- Helmet fitting (we provide helmets), closed-toe shoes required, pants recommended
Heads up! A "pony" is officially any horse under about 58 inches at the shoulder, so some of ours are taller than you might picture. All are gentle and trained for child rides.
5 out of 5 stars
“We had such a lovely experience at the Windmill Stables! The trainer was very patient and experienced as my son was getting mentally ready after a lot of petting and walking around. Champ is also very friendly and helps build a lot of confidence in him after his first child ride. He enjoyed so much and decided to watch quite long time before we had to say goodbye.”
