Call for pricing.

Adult Trail Club - Come back to what you love! This club meets for a little horsey R & R each Sunday afternoon, and is open to any adult with previous horse experience (no beginners please!). Take some time off for yourself, as you make new friends, and learn and ride at your own pace.

EAGLE -
Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Experience - This unique program uses activities with horses, both ground and mounted, to promote emotional and social growth in participants. This 6 – 8 week program is open to organized groups, and is facilitated by a Masters level Counselor.

Beginning Riding - No experience necessary. Riders will learn the basics of control through hand, leg, and seat aides.

Intermediate Riding - Riders must have at least one course of instruction and ride comfortably at a walk and a trot. Class will emphasize refining the aides and building horse/rider communication.

Private Lessons - Private and semi-private lessons are available in the Spring, Fall, and Winter months. Learn new skills at your own pace. Call us to set aside this time just for you!

Vaulting Team - Vaulting is an exciting sport involving performing gymnastic moves on the back of a moving horse. Vaulters start with very basic, easy moves on a stationary barrel and progress to more complex skills on a horse, all in a very safe and controlled environment. There are numerous opportunities to compete, both locally and nationally. This activity makes competition avaliable to kids who may not be able to own a horse and compete in "regular" shows. Vaulting Team is open to all youngsters over the age of 8. We are associated with The American Vaulting Association

Pony Preschool - Small group instruction requiring parents to lead. Young riders learn balance and confidence without worrying about controlling the horse. Later classes will introduce riders to steering, trotting, and trail riding.

Saddle Club - Rain or Shine! Kids gather at the barn to ride, clean, play games and learn about horses.Saddle Club meets August through June each year.

Pleasure - Ride to relax. Empahsis on stress reduction and trail riding. Open to any level rider.

Scholarships For Riding - This year, equestrian volunteers joined in the Camp's Partners With Youth Campaign to provide scholarships for riding students who need assistance with the cost of lessons. To donate to this fund, please send your contribution to:

We are continuing to build our permanent herd and could use a few more quiet, well-trained ponies or horses for beginning riders. Donated horses should be between the ages of five and fifteen, be sound and be kind and tolerant. Please recommend anyone looking for a loving home for such horses - we have plenty of TLC for them!
