Let your youngster meet a pony

If you’ve been looking for a way to introduce your child to horses, Pony Pals could be the ticket.

The program presented by Somerset County’s Lord Stirling Stable for children and their parents is designed to get children and ponies together, while encouraging child-parent interaction. Pony Pals is scheduled for July 7 at the stable, 256 South Maple Ave., Basking Ridge.

The program, which runs from 11 a.m.-noon, was created for 2- to 4-year-olds. It features a pony-themed story and a lead line pony ride. The fee is $10 per child/parent pair and $5 for each additional sibling age 2-9 years.

Pre-registration is required online at www.somersetcountyparks.org, by phone at 908-722-1200, ext. 5010, or in person at the Stable office. For additional information, call Lord Stirling Stable at 908-722-1200, ext. 5010.
