Horsefeathers
The phrase "Horsefeathers" sometimes brings to mind a light hearted reference to nonsense. At Jake's Flat Farm, "Horsefeathers" refers to activities and workshops that are designed to be a light hearted and joyful experience for those who participate. The staff at Jake's Flat organize and conduct single day events and multiple day workshops and camps for children, adolescents and adults which offer an environment in which individuals participate in activities which promote personal development while enjoying time with the horses. These activities may include expressive arts, equine assisted activities, or just plain fun. Check our calendar for upcoming Horsefeathers events.
Pony Feathers Summer Programs
Pony Feathers I- is a 4 day morning program designed for children ages 4-7. Pony Feathers is a smaller version of our Horsefeathers camps which is adapted specifically for younger children. Pony Feathers campers are closely supervised by their own camp counselor or teacher but participate in some activities offered to older campers. Children will participate in equine related games and activities which will include grooming, feeding, leading, driving a cart, and riding. Our horses and ponies are experienced with small children. All mounted and driving activities will require that children wear helmets.
