join the club - Horseplay allowed
Southlake Ponies is a nonprofit organization. Our mission is to offer a new opportunity for horses and foster connections between children and these animals. We aim to expose and educate children about horses while emphasizing safety and instilling values of compassionate care.
One way we do this is our social club for kids. This club is for kids who love horses and being outdoors. The club is owned and operated by kids so we know how to make it fun and do what kids love - HORSEPLAY! When kids play, they learn so tell your parents it will be very very educational!
We meet on the 1st Saturday of every month at the Bob Jones Equestrian Trails. Group A meets from 9:30-10:30 and Group B meets from 11:00-12:00. Tickets are $10 per kid ($5 per sibling). Ages are 2+. We also appreciate volunteer helpers (13+). Volunteers can sign up using the links below. For volunteer details text 817-524-9305.

What we do at our Monthly Meetings
- Learn all about HORSES....horse safety, how to care for them, saddle tack, grooming tools, trimming hooves, horse breeds, the beginnings of riding and so much more!
- Groom, feed and love on the real Southlake Ponies
- Hobby Horse Obstacle Course. This is a sophisticated version of the stick horse and is a fan favorite. Southlake Ponies will have horse sticks for purchase for $15. During the club meetings we will personalize our hobby horses with special manes, tails, reins, etc.
- Play and make believe with Schleich toy horses. We play in the dirt and create small farms - this activity alone can go on for hours and hours. We also craft bridles and saddle pads for our toy horses. We will have Schleich for sale but you can also find them online or at Tractor Supply.
- Celebrate all the birthdays in that month. The special birthday kids get to paint, braid and decorate Mr. Fritz, Bonnie and LaVida. Our horse bios are below. Birthday kids also get a special photo op!
Mr. Fritz
Hello, I am Mr. Fritz. I would love for you to be a part of Southlake Ponies. I am about 20 years old and living a mostly retired life. I am very patient and love attention. When I am not doing Southlake Pony Club meetings or birthday parties, I am either grazing or doing trails rides. I am known as the gentle giant or "The Unicorn". Hope to see you soon!
Bonnie and LaVida
