If you are interested in signing your child up for any of the sessions listed above, please reserve a spot by calling 978-464-0446 or email gaitway@verizon.net.  We have a maximum number of children per session and it is on a first come, first served basis.  This is to ensure all children have a fair amount of time to try each skill and enjoy being with the horse.

Parents will be asked to fill out a basic liability form at the beginning of each session.

Payment is due the day of the session when you arrive with your child, cash or check made out to Kristen Schulz.
