We are excited to be planning for the kids to be coming back for March break camp starting March 14 to 18th 2022. The curriculum is designed like our horse camp format. The option is available to sign up for a day or the whole week. The kids deserve the chance to experience camp again. They missed out last year. Don’t miss out on this opportunity on a childhood experience.
Photo Shoot Fundraiser
Hello everyone!
On Sunday December 6th we will be hosting our fourth annual Photo Shoot Fundraiser to help raise funds for our Equine Assisted Learning Program. This program has proven to be a valuable form of therapy. We are hoping to expand this program and hosting fundraisers allows us to extend our services to many who would otherwise be prevented from benefiting from the program due to financial barriers.
Here’s the plan:
11:00am until 2:00pm photographers will be available.
We will have several different backdrops arranged, with both indoor and outdoor options available depending on weather restrictions.
As per our COVID- 19 protocols, mask are to be worn until your Photoshoot time, as well as social distancing.
To book your time please call us at 519-888-6503.
Why this will work for you:
If you haven’t been able to organize your family for a fall photo yet then you may be feeling overwhelmed trying to make arrangements to mail out your cherished photo Christmas card.Do you want to get nice family photos to commemorate 2020? It’s not too late, we can help! We provide you with digital copies of your photos so you can decide which photos you want to print or send it to your friends and family electronically.
What better way to keep everyone smiling during the day than with fun activities like wagon or pony rides? Family photos can be challenging , but when you combine your photoshoot with a fun visit to our farm suddenly those smiles are totally natural and your everyone in your family will be eager to participate.
A portion of the proceeds from your photo shoot may be shared with the church that you are registered with when you provide us with an envelope upon your arrival.
Basic photo shoot pricing ranges between $20 – $50.

Group Riding Registration is Now Open!
Our Saddle Club has been a valued and much loved program here at Horseback Adventures for quite some time. This program has provided children of many ages and stages opportunities to learn and grow not just by gaining horsemanship skills but also by developing their confidence and ability to work cooperatively and communicate with others.
We have seen an increase in the number of students looking for riding lessons as well as a need for a supportive and positive atmosphere for not just children, but adults as well, to connect with friends and family new and old as well as to thrive as an individual.
In order to effectively respond to this need we have expanded our team of coaches in order to accommodate three possible sessions of our Children’s Saddle Club has expanded to three possible time slot options and our fantastic new coaches mean exciting new opportunities for our Adult Rodeo Club. Our HomeSchoolers Club has been an exciting addition on Wednesdays and will be up for it’s second round this winter.
If you’ve always wanted to take riding lessons and are looking for a way to get involved with a program but have struggled with finding available time slots or people to come with you, then it’s time to gear up and get out to the barn….Our Group Riding Program is Ready for you!!
