Welcome to My Barn!
Hello, my new friend!
My name is Littlefoot, and I'm so glad you're here!
I'm a little black pony with a very big job. Every day I help children learn about horses, riding, confidence, kindness, and believing in themselves. Sometimes I teach with my feet. Sometimes I teach with my ears. Sometimes I teach by making people frustrated. Ask my Hu-mom, Ms. Alisha about my Left or Right Game. She knows exactly what I mean!
Now I've been given an even bigger job...
I get to be your pen pal!
Once each month, you'll receive a brand-new Letter from Littlefoot in your mailbox. Sometimes I'll tell you a funny story from the barn. Sometimes I'll explain why horses do the silly things they do. Each month I’ll share one of the important life lessons horses teach humans.
Every letter will include something fun. You might find stickers, puzzles, games, coloring pages, writing challenges, or activities that help you become a better horseperson and you don’t even need a barn. (Because you have mine now)
Here's a secret...
The best horsepeople don't just learn how to ride.
They learn how to pay attention, stay calm when things don’t go as planned, be kind to each other and ourselves, and to keep trying, even when something feels hard.
Horses notice those things and ponies know all!
This special members' barn is our place to learn together. After you read each letter, I’ll post in the members only barnyard, and I'd love for you to leave me a comment!
You can tell me:
What was your favorite part?
Did you learn something new?
Share a story inspired by my letter.
Do you have a horse question you'd like me to answer in a future post?
Ms. Alisha will help me read every comment because ponies can’t read. She will also help me reply because it's a little tricky to type with hooves!
Until next time...
Keep your heels down, your heart open, and always remember to scratch your favorite horse on the withers.
Your friend,
Littlefoot
