Pony Crew

Pony Crew is one of our most coveted programs, in which we invite participants to learn from and interact with our horses. They learn about how to care for and communicate with horses which includes barn management, horse health, nutrition and stable manners. The classes are on Saturday mornings from 10 am to 12 pm, during the school year. There are approximately 14 to 18 sessions in the fall and spring sessions. There is no horseback riding in Pony Crew. 

Detailed Information:

  1. Children must be 7 years old or older

  2. Participants are asked to commit to the fall or spring sessions or both

  3. Children must be pre-approved before attending and a signed waiver is required, which will be provided at the first session. Call Nancy (Pony Crew Leader) at 402-779-6910. 

  4. Closed toed shoes and long pants are required, we may have extra boots to fit your child if needed!

  5. Written check in and check out by an adult guardian is required for each session, please adhere to start and end times for drop off and pick up as we cannot accommodate unaccompanied minors outside of program hours.

This is a free program but we strongly encourage donations to the Little Creek Farm Conservancy to support this program with materials for the kid’s crafts and snacks.

Adult Pony Crew

Adult Pony Crew is a multi-week, beginner-friendly horsemanship course designed specifically for adults who want to build confidence and foundational knowledge around horses.
