Girl Scout Programs
Here at LNS, we offer a variety of scout programs which can be tailored to fit your badge needs or girls’ athletic ability/interests! You can find information here about each of our programs offered for your scouts level!

*Disclaimer*
Since we are a working farm, not all areas are suitable for those with physical handicaps and/or wheelchairs, though we do our best to accommodate where we can. Also, for safety concerns, tag-a-longs are not allowed.
Thank you!

Previously known as the Horse Sense Patch. This is a 3 hour program, and includes a group lesson and riding time!

We have safely rewritten item #1 of this badge to read:
“Learn how to mount, walk and stop a horse while riding. Learn how to steer a horse through an obstacle course or set of cones. Observe a horse and rider walk, trot, and canter and identify the rhythm of these 3 gaits. If you are able to trot a horse, learn to post.”

Since our facility has both an indoor and outdoor riding arena we can hold these programs year round and rain or shine. Note: We do NOT offer trail rides. Other activities are a possibility including grooming time.
