Prairie Winds offers horse activities in a wide range of disciplines. The Prairie Winds Farm Horse and Pony riding team is made up of children of all ages that love horses and riding. They come to the farm regularly to do chores, ride, and enjoy each others' company. All wishing to participate should be sure to read the Horse and Pony Team Goals and don't forget to log your riding hours after each session.
Team members are welcome on any day as long as an instructor is present. Drivers please pay attention to weather and ground conditions when deciding to come and when parking . Please use the driveway and turn around for parking (graveled areas) if too much mud.
