Improve your riding and have fun with friends at Stone Bridge Farm’s summer riding camp! Bring your own horse or use one of ours! Riders can choose from two Camp programs: Full or Half Day Camp, for riders of all levels from age 8-17; and Horse Show Camp, for intermediate and advanced riders from age 8-17.
Full Day Camp runs from Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. ; Half Day Camp from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00p.m. Our popular Summer Day Camp includes two 90 minute riding lessons in small groups each day, with the option of trail rides as well. Groups are formed according to riding ability, with advanced, intermediate, and beginner groups available.
The Day Camp also includes grooming and tacking up horses, a mounted games day, and two hours of hands on horsemanship instruction. There will be demonstrations from a Blacksmith and a Vet, where campers can watch, learn, and ask questions, as well as daily crafts and games. This week of fun concludes with an in-house horse show, with one-on-one critique and feedback from a professional judge.
