‘Saddle Club’ Horseback Riding Camp

Does your child love being around horses and ponies? Earthbound’s Saddle Club runs every week of the summer and is the perfect place for children 6 to 12 years of age to learn more about horses and the sport of riding.

Whether just trying it for the first time or have had experience with horses and riding, we offer lessons to suit each child’s ability. Our instructors provide an enjoyable and, very positive learning experience incorporating games and fun activities into the lesson plans. Horses and ponies in our program are gentle natured and experienced with all levels of riders.

Each day children in the program will have a 30 minute private riding lesson. (or depending on riding ability 45 minute semi-private lesson). stables The remainder of the day will be spent around the barn learning about the animal’s care, anatomy, grooming and safe-handling.

Campers will also have an opportunity to visit other areas of the farm throughout the week, such as the swimming pool, athletic areas, arts and crafts loft and the garden.
