Hands-On Pony Grooming and Riding Adventures at Jireh Hills Family Homestead for All Ages


Experience a fun and educational one hour encounter with the Pony Brigade at Jireh Hills Family Homestead. Guests can meet a variety of ponies including Sapphire, Champ, Chickadee, Star, Trixie, and the larger ponies Meadow, Charlie, and Whinchester. Children have the unique opportunity to groom, lead, and ride the ponies while learning essential skills about care, feeding, and proper handling. This hands-on experience teaches responsibility and builds confidence while encouraging a meaningful connection with these gentle animals.


The event offers two distinct options: a small group encounter suitable for all ages, or a new Equine Adult Encounter specifically designed for ages twelve and older. Participants will groom, lead, and learn pony communication techniques, haltering, and saddling. For those looking for an extra challenge, guests can even create their own obstacle course to test their pony's agility. Younger children under three must be accompanied by an adult, and pony rides are strictly limited to riders under ninety pounds.


This educational program focuses on the bond between humans and horses, providing a safe environment for learning. By engaging directly with the ponies, participants gain insight into equine behavior and the importance of patience and empathy. The homestead setting provides a tranquil backdrop for this activity, allowing guests to focus entirely on their interaction with the animals. It is a perfect way for children to develop new skills while adults enjoy a unique equine experience.


To extend the fun, this experience can be paired with an optional half hour campfire and hotdog roast, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings or group outings. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience with horses, the staff at Jireh Hills ensures a safe and rewarding time for everyone. This program is a fantastic way to spend a day outdoors, fostering a love for animals and creating lasting memories with friends and family.
