Kids’ Cowboy Adventure for Two
Transport yourself back to the days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with this wild west adventure for the cowboy or cowgirl in you. Your experience begins with a welcome and introduction to the Western Paint horses, Boston, Gypsy and friends. You’ll meet your own trusty steed, saddle up and head off for a one hour riding lesson in the Western Riding Arena - western style. It’s easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it’s great even for beginners. Next you’ll be shown how to try your luck at lassoing the cow-horns, then finally it’s time for a well-earned feast of ranch burger and beans. You’ll also get certificates to take home to show everyone that you’re official Junior Cowboys.
