REINS to host its third annual Spring Hop, March 24

FALLBROOK – REINS Therapeutic Horsemanship Program will host its third annual Spring Hop Saturday, March 24. The event is for children of all ages, and takes place 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at REINS, 4461 S. Mission Road, in Fallbrook. The Easter Bunny will be on-site for photos, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Children will be divided into three age groups, babies to three years, four to six years and seven to 10 years, for the egg hunts. Last year’s event attracted over 400 people. Volunteers at REINS have been working hard to fill the eggs and get the property egg hunt ready. They will help make Spring Hop a fun and inclusive event.

In addition to egg hunt, the children can enjoy many activities and treats. Cowgirl Karan’s Party Animals will have a petting zoo on-site. Additional fun zones include two Beach City Rental bounce houses, egg-on-spoon races, carnival games and coloring stations. Face painting will be on hand to put bunny whiskers on all the children too. Fallbrook Cookie Company will be serving gourmet cookies available for purchase. Get Fluffed Up Cotton Candy will spin cotton candy fresh using only organic ingredients, and a story-time book area with children’s books available for purchase will be presented by Creating the Curious.

There will be a hunt for each age group. No registration is necessary. Age 0 to three years will take place 11:30 a.m. Age 4 to six years will be at noon. Age 7-10 is 12:30 p.m. The hunts will begin promptly rain or shine, so all participants are encouraged to arrive early.

General admission for all ages is $10. Family packs of four tickets are $30. Children under 2 are free. Parking is free. Food is available for purchase. For more information contact REINS at (760) 731-9168 or visit http://www.reinsprogram.org.
