Looking for a fun, screen-free way to get your horse-loving kid outside and exploring?
This pony-themed nature walk scavenger hunt is the perfect mix of fresh air, curiosity, and horse-inspired fun! Whether you’re at the barn, in the backyard, or out on the trail, your child will love searching for items inspired by their favorite four-legged friends. Bring a clipboard, a pencil, and your sense of adventure!
What to look for:
-
A leaf shaped like a hors
Use your imagination to find one that looks like your favorite horse or pony. -
A stick shaped like a riding crop or jump pole
Long and straight—just like what you’d find in a jumping ring! -
Something soft like a pony’s nose
Could be moss, fuzzy flowers, or even a feather—bonus if it's velvety like a muzzle. -
A rock that looks like a horseshoe
Curved? U-shaped? Let kids decide—nature’s version of good luck! -
A patch of grass that looks like a grazing spot
Find a little field or meadow and imagine ponies munching away. -
A flower the color of your favorite pony
Blonde like a palomino, chestnut like a bay, or black like a Friesian—get creative with the color match! -
Something that could be a pony’s treat
Apple on a tree? Carrot in a garden? Or something pony-safe nearby? (Look—don't pick without permission!) -
A twig shaped like a horse’s tail
Long and wispy—or bundled like a ponytail after a ride. -
Pony tracks or animal hoofprints
Keep your eyes on the trail! Can you spot prints that look like they belong to a horse or deer? -
Something that sparkles like a ribbon from a horse show
It could be dew, a shiny pebble, or even a bright wildflower.
Enjoy your adventure!
