🥚 Easter Egg Hunts & Prizes – Search for hidden treasures throughout the farm and win exciting prizes! Keep an eye out for the special Golden Egg!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Fun for All Ages – Whether you're riding, playing, or cheering from the sidelines, there’s something for everyone in this family-friendly event.

🐎 Meet the Horses – Get up close with our wonderful lesson horses, learn about horsemanship, and even enjoy a pony ride!

Bring your own horses and come play with us!

• Egg-and-Spoon Race (Mounted)
  
• Riders balance a plastic egg on a spoon while navigating a course. First to cross the finish line with their egg still intact wins!
• Easter Bunny Jumping Course
  
• Set up a series of low jumps (or poles) decorated with Easter-themed elements. Riders navigate the course as quickly as they can, making sure to keep the "bunny ears" (cones) in place.
• Obstacle Course Relay
  
• Riders must guide their horses through a series of Easter-themed obstacles (e.g., barrels, cones, and poles). Teams can take turns, or it's a timed solo challenge!
• Hunt the Golden Egg (Mounted)
  
• Horses and riders race through a designated area to "find" the hidden golden egg (placed on a marked target). The first to retrieve it wins the prize!

So our friends who can't bring horses or don't have horses don't feel left out, we have plenty for you too!

• Egg Toss Challenge
• Participants pair up and toss Easter eggs (or plastic ones) back and forth, stepping further apart with each toss. The team that can toss the egg the furthest without breaking it wins.

• Easter Basket Relay
• Teams race to collect Easter eggs from one area of the arena and place them into baskets at the other end. The team with the most eggs in their basket wins!

• Pin the Tail on the Easter Bunny
• A classic twist on “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”! Blindfolded participants try to pin a fluffy tail onto a large Easter Bunny poster.

• Resurrection Egg Hunt
• The eggs are hidden all over the farm, and participants of all ages (from tots to adults) are invited to join in the hunt! Each egg contains a special Easter-themed item or item related to the Resurrection. Some eggs contain treats, some have small prizes, and one lucky egg contains the Golden Egg, which wins the grand prize!
