Mini Riders

Does your youngest want to play with animals and can’t wait for their first pony ride? Sweet Meadow Farm’s patient and well-trained animals are ready to introduce your child to a lifelong love!

At our 45 minute “buddy and me” style class adults and children learn how to handle and care for our animals together. We have a wide variety of over 100 animals that call Sweet Meadow Farm home. Our residents include a wallaby, potbelly pigs, goats, rabbits, an emu, and more! This unforgettable experience also includes a hand-led pony ride, feeding hay to our barnyard animals, giving treats in the bird room, and meeting the animals in the pet room.

Sessions available on a seasonal basis. Ages 1-5.

The child must be under 3 1/2 Ft tall and under 50 lbs to ride the miniature horse.
