We at Hybid LOVE the Girl Scouts!
We hope you will bring your Brownies and Girl Scouts to Hybid Farm to earn their badges or just to have fun. Let us know what your goals are and we can design the day to help you accomplish all you want to do.
Your day at Hybid can be as simple as:
- A one-hour program learning about horses and everyday horse care (covering topics like stall cleaning, basic equine nutrition, tack care/cleaning, grooming, tacking up and safety while working around the horses, etc)
- Or you can add another hour and have a horseback lesson as well. Girls Scouts will have a fun and safe riding experience while learning 1) the importance of their safety tack check before getting on, 2) how to safely and effectively ride while learning about riding aids, position and balance.
The choices for the riding portion of the program can be:
- Trail ride
- Group Lesson
- Gymkhana (mounted games)
So come for an hour of knowledge or two hours of fun packed horse related knowledge and riding. Whichever you decide, it will be a day well spent out of doors and in an old fashion New England barn with some amazing horses.
