As an equestrian myself, I feel very fortunate and lucky to bring my younger son (4 yrs old) to these events. Kara does so well with teaching younger children and has the talent and patience of a saint (as do her very well trained and kid friendly ponies and horses). The little cowboy and cowgirl events are great for people that can’t make it to the barn regularly. We feel each time we go it’s a safe, fun, and a great learning experience.
