For Boys and Girls - Ages 10 and under...
There has been Pee Wee football, Pee Wee baseball, Pee Wee basketball, Pee Wee soccer, and
NOW
Pee Wee Polo!
Maybe your 10-and-under youngster wants to try something new or maybe your horseback riding child is tired or bored with ‘round and ‘round the ring in riding lessons.
Here’s a chance for you and your children to explore Pee Wee Polo on Chukkar Farm.
Come and explore the opportunities even if your child doesn’t ride as yet.
The kids can pet the horses and learn their way around the farm and stables. They can see the equipment and even practice strokes on our wooden horse “Gaby” in enclosed hitting cage. We’ll also practice with “Foot” mallets (short mallets that can be used for practice on foot or on bicycles).
For Pee Wees we use reliable, trained horses and a large beach ball in our enclosed practice arena.
