🐴 PONY PALS IS BACK THIS FALL! 💕

Do you have a horse-loving kiddo who would spend every day at the barn if they could? Pony Pals is the perfect way for kids to learn, build confidence, and have fun with horses in a safe and supportive environment.

Each week, kids will get hands-on experience with:
• Grooming and caring for ponies
• Learning to tack and handle horses safely
• Fun barn games and activities
• Lead-line walks and mini riding lessons
• Building confidence, independence, and horsemanship skills
• And, of course, making some new two- and four-legged friends!

📅 Tuesdays, September 8 – October 27
⏰ 4:00–5:30 PM
🐴 Ages 5–10
💲 $55 per week or $400 for all 8 weeks
✨ All experience levels welcome!

Spaces are limited so that we can keep the program small, safe, and hands-on.

📲 Call or text Maryea at 207-650-5434 to reserve a spot.

Come spend your Tuesday afternoons at Copper Creek Stables and make some memories with the ponies. 💗🐴

Hay season. It's not for the faint of heart 🐴🐎

We’re pretty excited to see **Copper Creek Stables featured in the Kennebec Journal/Central Maine today!** ❤️🐴

This little farm has grown into so much more than a place to ride horses. It’s a place where kids learn to be brave, get dirty, make friends, care for something bigger than themselves, and discover just how much a horse can teach them.

Our summer camps are about riding, of course—but they’re also about **horsemanship, confidence, connection, responsibility and giving kids the chance to simply be kids at the barn.**

Seeing those moments captured so beautifully by photographer Anna Chadwick means a lot to us. And seeing **our horses, campers, volunteers and staff** in the paper makes us incredibly proud of what we’re building here at Copper Creek.

Thank you to all of the families who trust us with their kids, our amazing staff and volunteers who make these days possible, and especially our horses who patiently teach all of us something new every single day.

Take a look at the story and all the wonderful photos! 👇

🐴 Have You Always Wanted to Ride? 🐴

Maybe you rode as a child and have always dreamed of getting back in the saddle.

Maybe you've spent years admiring horses from a distance but aren't sure where to begin.

Or maybe you've always loved horses, but the idea of lessons feels intimidating.

At Copper Creek Stables, we believe horses should be approachable.

You don't have to ride on your first lesson.

You don't have to know anything about horses.

You don't have to "be brave enough" before you start.

We'll meet you exactly where you are.

Your first lesson might involve grooming, leading, learning horse behavior, or simply spending time building confidence around these incredible animals. When you're ready, we'll help you take the next step—whether that's your first ride or your first ride in years.

Our patient horses and welcoming instructors, Mercedes and Shadow, specialize in helping riders of all ages feel comfortable, capable, and successful.
