The Pony Ride Experience

Children ages 2 and older spend this hour learning all about ponies! Discover how to interact with them, what they eat, how they’re groomed and more. There’s plenty of time to ride, and ample guidance to help keep kids safe. The Pony Ride Experiences are held at the gorgeous Taylor Hillside Farm & Ranch surrounded by Newberg’s world-class wine country.

Pony Ride Experiences next available spring/summer 2026.

“Thank you for providing our daughter Eleanor with such an enjoyable experience with Black Beauty. Eleanor is still talking about it and is anxious to get back on the horse soon. You guys did an incredible job making her feel comfortable around the ponies. I am amazed how much she was able to do in just an hour.”

“My daughter learned more in one session with Oregon Dream Ponies than she learned in all of her lessons she has taken so far.”

“I just wanted to say how thankful I am for today’s lesson with Samantha. You were absolutely incredible with her. The grace and patience you showed when she got emotional honestly meant the world to me. Watching you gently guide her through that tough moment is something I’ll never forget. The most important lesson she learned today, how to push through when things get hard, is one that will stick with her for a long time. When she came home and told her dad and brother all about D and what you taught her, it was so clear you left a special mark on her heart.

You are such a gift to the kids you teach. Thank you again for your time and your kindness.”

Lessons

Lessons are available for children starting at 3 years old. One-on-one horsemanship lessons are offered year-round. Lesson students are immersed in the world of horses with rich experiences exposing children to a whole array of equine activities including Western Riding, English Riding, bareback riding, horse care, groundwork experiences and more.

Horses are beautiful life lesson teachers reflecting to us what they see, hear and feel. The greatest success comes when children learn how to connect with the horses. Peaceful, calm, patience, kind ways fill the air as children develop a bond enriching their souls for life.

Winter session is full. Spring session sign-ups will start February 2026.

Lessons are held on Fridays and Saturdays.
