Parent & Me Classes

Come on out and spend two hours at Castlewood Stables! Our events are geared toward ages 2 and up. Our group activities include riding horses around the arena on lead lines, pony grooming, playing with and feeding our petting zoo animals (including pot bellied pigs, tortoises, goats, a sheep, a mini bull) and making a fun craft. Every once in a while, our resident zebra and Clydesdale make appearances! 

During October, this event will be Halloween-themed, and kids are welcome to wear costumes (as long as they won't get in the way of them riding a horse).
