Pony Scouts is a brand new program that Bit-By-Bit Therapeutic Riding Center is now offering designed to provide young equestrians with the skills they need to safely partner with horses.
In true scouting spirit, the children will receive hands-on instruction with the horses designed to teach safety, communication, and balanced riding.

The six week sessions were created in order for the child to build knowledge and trust simultaneously with their equine friends.

We have not left out FUN though and have sprinkled in arts & crafts and mounted and nonmounted pony games to make this the most well-rounded horse curriculum available for a child!

Sign up now to reserve your spots. Classes are limited and first come, first serve.
Don't worry if your child has never ridden before, we will provide all the support necessary to make this a successful scouting experience!
