Play time with Ponies is a new class offered by the Camp Ketcha Horse Barn that is geared toward children ages 3 to 5. Our goal is to get younger children involved in riding and horse activities while staying structured to their attention level. Until now, participants in our horsemanship and lesson program had to be at least 6 years old. By offering a fun class with smaller groups and shortened activities, we can also involve this younger age group.
