Open House Sign Up: Pre-registration is not required, however to ensure that your group will be able to start the tour when you arrive, we encourage you to book in advance.
If you do not register in advance, we cannot guarantee that a pony ride time slot will be available when you arrive.
*Pony Ride: If you would like a pony ride, it is $10 per participant. The Pony ride includes one lap around the arena on a WELCA lesson horse. This ride is on-lead and riders must be ages 4 and up to participate. Parents/guardians/friends/etc. will have a chance to take photos from the viewing area while the rider is on the horse. This will be followed by a tour time at the next available spot.
Early registration is encouraged to ensure the day runs efficiently, however, you will have the chance to purchase a Pony Ride onsite if spots are available.
Attire: Come dressed for the weather- a portion of the event will be outside. If you are signing up for a pony ride, please wear boots with a small heel (rubber or cowboy boots are great!). We will provide riding helmets.
Cancellation Policy: WELCA will not be offering a refund on cancellations or no-shows for this event.
