A hands-on horsemanship experience! Kids discover the joys of caring for and connecting with horses. From grooming & pony rides to fun farm chores and art & crafts, this enriching program encourages growth in confidence, compassion, and social skills in a supportive, inclusive setting for both neurotypical and neurodivergent youth. Barn Buddies allows each participant to thrive at their own pace while learning important life lessons like patience, teamwork, boundaries, and responsibility. With small group sizes and plenty of fresh air, it's the perfect way to unplug. Connect with animals, and make lasting friendships. Program runs rain or shine as there is a heated barn for colder days.
Participants should wear closed toe shoes like rain or warm boots, dress appropriately for the weather, and bring a water bottle and a nut-free snack.
This program will take place at 345 Waterville Rd, Avon CT, US Horse Welfare & Rescue Org.
