Learn to Ride a Pony. Right here in town.

Ponies RIdgewoodLiving in Ridgewood, we encounter many animals: raccoons, rabbits, occasionally a bear (gulp.) But come April, sweet, gentle ponies are coming to town. The Pony Share program is one of my favorite activities offered by Ridgewood Rec.

For 5 weeks, a group of about 16 children meet at The Stable to learn everything from grooming to riding ponies including mounting, dismounting, and simply holding the reins. The older children even learn English and Western styles of riding.

It’s is truly is special experience especially since it takes place partially in our backyards. My daughter absolutely feel in love with the ponies. She knew all the ponies names and personalities by week 3. She even helped scoop the poop!
Classes meet 5 Wednesdays in September and October. Ages 3 – 5 meet from 1:30 to 3:00; the cost is $275. Ages 6-12 meet from 3:30 – 5:30; the cost is $300. For more information, visit RidgewoodPonyShare
