Morning At The Horse Barn

Mornings at the farm is our favorite time. All of the animals in the barnyard are just waking up and you can feel the peace in the air. The horses are always happy to see us and we like to believe that they know it’s not just because we are getting ready to feed them. Guests will get a chance to accompany Belle (the horse girl) and see this first hand as we get the day started at the farm. We will start out by meeting each animal up close and personal and learning each of their stories. From there you will get to feed the animals and learn about everyone’s different feeding plans. We will gather eggs from the chickens and and then get to brush and pick out the horses hooves and learn basic groundwork skills with them. You will get lots of up close and personal time with everyone in the barnyard and learn more about them! Children are more than welcome. Riding lessons can also be offered for anyone who is interested.

(You do not need to be a Canaan Valley Guest to do this experience)

The Mobile Learning Adventure (MLA) is a traveling exhibit that provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers to learn about the importance of early childhood education while they engage in fun activities with their children. A part of PNC Grow Up Great-a $500 million, multi-year initiative that began in 2004 to help children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life- the MLA includes interactive kiosks and the “When I Grow Up” station, where kids can dress up as different professionals and have their picture superimpose on an appropriate background.
