In Our Horseback Riding Summer Camp, You’ll Ride Gentle Horses, Make Friends & Have Fun!
Horseback riding is a sport where kids build confidence, make friends, and have lots of outdoor fun!
Whether your child has significant riding experience or just loves horses, riding at Orchard Hill is sure to be one of the best weeks of their summer…
Our camp is open to girls and boys ages 7* through 13 . On a typical day, campers team up with one of the farm’s gentle school horses or ponies and learn to care for their equine partner while socializing with other “horse-loving” kids. Daily riding lessons are carefully tailored to each camper’s riding ability.
Beginners start safely on a lead line with an experienced counselor, then learn to steer and control their mount, ride independently, trot and post, and eventually canter and jump. Every step along the way is exciting and fun. Students show off their new skills in a riding demonstration for parents every Friday.
Kids learn horse anatomy and horse care between mounted rides, enjoy lunch and snacks, practice vaulting, and create equine-inspired arts & crafts outdoors on our 70+ acre farm.
