Barn Buddies US Horse Welfare & Rescue at Nod Hill | Kids Out and About Hartford

Barn Buddies US Horse Welfare & Rescue at Nod Hill

Sign your kids up today for what has become a Farmington Valley staple for kids ages 6-11. The kids get some horsemanship time as they learn about horses & the grooming and caring for them. They do some chores (don’t you love it when they come home tired and have been out in the fresh air??!!), have some arts and crafts time, play games, and even slip in a pony ride or two, all while organically developing skills in leadership, teamwork, patience, respect, boundaries, responsibility, coping skill, learning to destress and more. Small groups, lots of fresh air! Participants should wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots and dress for the weather. This program runs in all types of weather; the main barn is heated to 42 degrees. You will receive notice should the program need to be canceled for a day.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
