A lifelong rider, instructor Patricia Hohmann spent years competing in high school and college and brings that experience to her students when teaching English- and Western-style riding lessons. She specializes in working with beginner adults and children and helps them get confident in the saddle while having fun and staying safe. This means pairing riders with horses that are friendly, sane, and thereby incapable of plotting world domination. Saddle captains as young as age 3 learn during Pony Pals lessons, which give them a private introduction to horseback riding while the horse remains safely under Patricia’s control via a lead line.

It's hard for kids to keep their feet on the ground inside Jumpin Jakes. Areas to jump, bounce, and climb spread across the play space, which encompasses bounce houses and giant slides among other structures. A toddler zone accommodates younger visitors (Jumpin Jakes welcomes kids aged 2?10), and a snack bar sates hunger between bounces. For even more fun, the play center has video games, music, and an interactive light floor.
