We have a very diverse herd including
Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, Arabians and
Warmbloods of all ages and backgrounds (we
even have some horses who used to be
Western horses!). Each horse is evaluated
every summer and assigned to an appropriate
riding level.

If you are interested in taking home a horse during our off-season, please take a look at our
information on borrowing. We occasionally have horses for sale as well. You can see what horses
are available for borrowing or that are for sale here.

These horses work hard every summer to teach many girls to
ride and love horses so after camp we place each horse
into a family or schooling environment for the
fall/winter/spring. Some horses get the time off and can go
home with a student who just wants to trail ride while others
are still developing their skills and are placed with students
who are actively working with a trainer or instructor on specific
goals that we outline beforehand. Please keep this in mind for
your riding plans during the school year as this can be a
valuable experience in horse ownership and responsibility!

Our horses are hand-selected to be quiet, reliable, educated
school masters and most of our horses are with us for life!
They are an integral part of our program and we go to great lengths
to make sure they are happy and healthy.

At SJ Riding Camp we believe that horses must be horses FIRST and then teachers second. So
every horse at camp spends as much time as possible out in pasture with his buddies. This makes sure
that our horses have plenty of time to relax, graze or play with friends so that when they go to work, they
are happy and well-rested. Most of our horses live with the herd out in the pasture while others live alone
or in small groups in turnout areas.
