Mini Horse Camp

Little Buckaroo Ranch Mini Horse Camp offers preschool children, ages 3-6, an authentic Texas ranch experience in the hill country just west of Austin. On the first morning of camp, little buckaroos become ranch hands. Toss scratch to the chickens & gather fresh farm eggs. Feed the goats & freshen the horses' water. Groom a miniature horse & learn the wrangler's vocabulary describing the color, markings & conformation of the miniature horses and ponies. Leading a horse to water is something every buckaroo can do. After our barnyard visit, enjoy a refreshing morning snack under the shade trees. Then head over to the OK Corral for a mini horse show down. Learn about horses in a safe environment that will not overwhelm even the smallest buckaroos at camp. The second morning session begins with basic riding instruction & includes lead-line pony rides, art activities and a play period featuring old-fashioned ranch games. We'll rustle up ranch vittles for lunch. Make s'mores before you hit the trail for home. Pre-registration is required.
