AIMS
Although some horses just need rest and company when they get to a certain  age, many retired horses thrive on gentle work, which takes account of  their age and condition. The Golden Carrot is a non-profit, public benefit  corporation which offers educational services to appropriate organizations,  such as Scouting groups and schools. Here, groups of children can learn  the maintenance, training and riding of horses, and the special care needed  for disabled and old horses.

You can take riding lessons in exchange for your work here: cleaning stalls, and grooming  and feeding the horses. Would you like to do this too?

HORSE  CAMPS
The Golden Carrot is a 24 acre facility located in an  isolated area bordering the Cahuilla Indian Reservation in Southern  California. It's a great location for camping, riding, hiking, and living  with the wildlife around. We offer Day camps, weekends, and more, in  which the participants actually care for the horses, feeding and watering  them three times a day, and they groom, tack and learn to ride their  steeds in a lesson situation. It's hard work, but a lot of fun!
