First Farm InnPhone: 859-586-0199Midweek Family Horseback Adventures Horseback riding is a magical experience. Learning to control a 1,000+ pound animal and sitting nearly six feet off the ground is a real thrill, even more so if you only weigh 50 pounds! Parents and grandparents love watching their “babies” quickly gain mastery as the ride progresses. Evaluate your child’s maturity level carefully before you schedule riding. Kids must be at least five years old and have the ability to sit up straight and follow directions. A respect for animals, good listening skills and a significant attention span are necessary to enjoy the riding experience. Nervous or inexperienced riders each ride their own horse but are lead by the instructor. Our dog and kitties are child-friendly. We have games, movies and dvds to share with you as well as directions to Lazer Craze, mini-car racing, discounted tickets to the Cinci zoo and Newport Aquarium and more. A farm is not a safe place to bring ill-mannered, undisciplined kids to “run wild.” Under the Kentucky farm animal liability act, by coming to the farm you accept all liability for your family. Traditional school break times are really busy, so schedule as far in advance as you can. Schools are varying holiday dates a lot, so check even if you’re trying to make a last minute plan!
