Gilchrist Farm in Santa Clarita is a working ranch offering hands-on classes and activities centered on horsemanship, animal care, and farm skills. Visitors take horseback riding lessons ranging from introductory to advanced competition levels, with junior lessons available for younger riders on ponies. The farm teaches English, Western, and Driving disciplines suited to arena, show ring, or trail riding. Beyond lessons, the farm offers classes in animal care, archery, farm-inspired crafts, and seasonal camps for children and teens led by experienced instructors. Weekend farm visits open Saturdays and Sundays, where guests enjoy pony rides, archery, panning for gold, tractor-pulled wagon rides, a farm train, crafts, and interaction with goats and cows. The farm also hosts birthday parties, field trips, special events, and overnight family campouts with activities, meals, and accommodation on the property. A country store and gift cards are available on-site, with cash and card payment accepted.

The page stays here because the attraction is still worth knowing about, and because we keep checking. If a deal appears on their site, it appears here.
