Girl Scout / Youth Activities

Candy Lane Acres LLC. is approved by the Girl Scout organization and we offer a program that is both fun and safely oriented for children of all ages. The program can be enjoyed by Girl Scout troops seeking to earn a badge or other youth groups of all types.

The program is for 90 minutes and includes the following:
The first 45 minutes learning about the following:

How to Work Safely Around Horses
Grooming (Everyone gets to participate)
Different Types of Saddles & Bridles for English and Western Riding
How To Put On A Bridle and Saddle
Different Breeds of Horses
What Horses Eat
What It Is Like To Own A Horse and More

The second 45 minutes is “Riding Time”
Each participant receives a basic riding lesson and has the chance to practice the skills that they have learned. Riders learn how to get their horses to move forward, stop, steer and maneuver safely around objects and other horses. Each rider will be matched with a horse for their level of riding. Those that may have prior riding experience will receive more advanced instruction and are permitted to ride at a more advanced pace.

Pricing varies depending on group size.
Please call 412-741-6822 or email for pricing. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to ‘hold the date’. The balance can be paid the day of the activity by either cash or check.

All riders are required to wear helmets while riding. Helmets are available for those that need them. Participants are also asked to wear long pants and shoes or boots with a small heel. Tennis shoes and shoes with big thick soles are discouraged. For cold weather riding, all participants are advised to dress warmly and wear gloves. Even though much of the activity takes place in the barn or the indoor riding arena, this is still considered an outdoor activity.

ALL riders under the age of 21 must have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
