Kids Zone
The Cali Horse Festival isn’t just about breathtaking shows and cultural traditions — it’s also packed with exciting activities the whole family can enjoy. From pony rides and petting zoos to gold-mining adventures and creative coloring stations, kids of all ages will find something to love. Families can spend the day exploring hands-on activities, learning cowboy skills like roping, and getting up close with friendly horses and animals. Whether your little one dreams of being a cowboy, an artist, or simply wants to play, the festival is the perfect place to make lasting memories together.
🐴 Pet the Horses
Get up close with our gentle horses in a safe, supervised environment. A perfect opportunity for kids (and adults) to experience the magic of connecting with these beautiful animals.
🐎 Pony Rides
A festival favorite! Young riders can saddle up for a guided pony ride and feel the excitement of being in the saddle.
🐑 Petting Zoo
Meet friendly farm animals in our family-friendly petting zoo. From goats to rabbits, kids will love this hands-on experience.
⛏️ Find Gold
Step into the boots of a gold miner! Sift through sand to uncover hidden treasures and sparkling “gold.” A fun way to bring history to life.
