Horse Camps in Tivoli, New York (Dutchess County)

Hands on learning and lots of fun! Horse riding lessons in our indoor arena out of the sun on hot days, our large outdoor arena with mountain views, our wood fenced grass fields or around the farm for a safe trail ride. Professional, seasoned trainers teach the lessons with assistance from several high school aged advanced riders acting as counselours. Our 12 safe and wonderful lesson horses accomodate beginners as well as more advanced students ages 5-12. Lessons are split-up according to age and ability level. We play games, go bareback and practice horse shows and serious riding as well. We can take care of any fear issues or new riders with our patience and understanding. In addition to riding our kids learn all aspects of horsemanship and horse related skils. Plus we play on the trampoline, jungle gym, learn arts and crafts, we play games and have "horseless horse shows" and swim on hot days. It's loads of fun for horse crazy kids!... See More
