Baby Misty & Happy Camper Terry Tenzing, Owner Niki-Niks & Camper

In our “Pony Camps”
children will receive a daily riding lesson and the responsibility of caring for their very own pony. Our ponies are so much fun to be around. They are friendly, love children and are specially chosen to match your child’s size, skill and personality. Our unique emphasis on equine principles in and out of the saddle ensures that your child will learn about pony behavior, riding technique, safety, tack, grooming, equine care and good communication, understanding and respect. Hands on activities featuring horse related crafts, fun and games, nature hikes, keeping a daily journal and instruction along with our surprise "baby animal of the day", will round out your child’s pony camp experience. 9:00 - 12:00/1:00-3:00 or 9:00 - 3:00


Our “Farm Animal Camps”
are unique to the Bay Area and the Coastside. In addition to having their own special pony for the week, our campers will learn about and interact daily with all of our farm animals. Each day we will focus on a different member from our menagerie of chickens, ducks, bunnies, pygmy goats, sheep and miniature potbelly pigs. The kids will feed and care for them and study their habits including collecting eggs, helping to trim their hooves, and shearing the sheep. Our days are filled with fun doing animal related arts and crafts, keeping a daily journal and being on the farm.
Weekly/daily and half-day sessions. 12:00/1:00-3:00 or 9:00-3:00



Horse Back Riding Lesson Program
for Adults and Children

Our style of teaching riding focuses on skills building, having fun and developing a comfortable relationship with the horse or pony. We follow the philosophy of "horse whispering". Through these intuitive insights, our students learn to approach riding from a place of mutual respect. Students are taught to notice their horses'/ponys' moods, reactions, feelings and needs. We believe that this is the foundation of every horse/human interaction, and is the cornerstone for developing safe and grounded equestrian skills.
Call to schedule.



"Be a Rancher for a Day” -
Working Ranch Experiences A unique opportunity for a one-on-one experience shadowing on a real working horse ranch. Your child will spend the morning with Terry Tenzing and her staff as they go about their duties at Madonna Creek Ranch horse stables. We begin with feeding the big horses, mucking out stalls, caring for the little animals and then take a trail ride on one of our hand-led ponies out on the Ranch. Our trail ride might take us past pumpkin and hay fields, cattle grazing on the hillsides, along beautiful Madonna Creek or up into the hills surrounding the Ranch. Call to arrange dates.
