Pumpkins and Ponies
Saturday October 18 & 25, 2025

We will have multiple stations that you can work through at your own pace, we recommended giving yourself about an hour to complete them all. Time slots are set up in 20 minute intervals as "start times" so that we can stagger the stations and be able to accommodate parking.

You will get a "Pumpkin Map" and get a stamp at each station. At the end you can turn in your "Pumpkin Map" for a goodie bag!

Stations:

🎃 Pick a Pumpkin: Choose a pumpkin from our "pumpkin patch"

🎃 Pumpkin Painting: We have the paint and the brushes, you bring the creativity!

🎃 Groom a Horse: Get hands on, up close to a real live mini horse, pony or horse!

🎃 Mini Riding Lesson: Experience riding a real HORSE or pony!

🎃 Goodie Bags: Show us your Pumpkin Map to receive your goodie bag!

🎃 Self Serve Photo Backdrop: Bring your phone or your camera for fall photos!

Participants may have up to 2 adults accompany them.

Everyone on the property must sign a release form. No exceptions!

Wonderful place for lessons and riding! Ingrid is a wonderful instructor and the students really learn not only to ride but about caring for the horses as well!

My daughter did the preschoolers and ponies and absolutely loved it. She loved being around the horses. Miss Ingrid was great and gave us great memories. Look forward to future classes. Thanks again!

Campers Grandparent

My granddaughter, Kaitlyn, loved her experience at WSEC summer camp last year. She made friends, enjoyed the variety of activities, and especially loved the activities with the horses. This camp provided a great way for children to see what it takes to not only enjoy horses, but how to care for them. This summer, I've signed up both my granddaughter Kaitlyn (from VA) and my granddaughter McKenzie.
