When you come for a two week session, you get to look forward to participating in some of the special types of riding that you can do only here at SJ! Campers also have the opportunity to sign up for a variety of other riding opportunities like semi-private lessons and horse shows.
Swimming with the Horses
One of the activities most looked forward to by our riding campers each summer is the chance to go swimming with the horses. On especially hot days, your instructor will take you and your horse to the horse pond where you get to splash through the water and get your feet wet while your horse swims through the deep end of the pond.
Supper Rides
Once each 2-week session, each riding group tacks up their horses with saddlebags full of hot dogs, s’mores, and chips and heads out for a trail ride. During these “Supper Rides” you’ll find your campsite and learn how to securely tie your horse to a tree, build a fire, and roast the perfect marshmallow for your s’more.
After you finish with supper and clean up the campsite, the group heads out on the trails.
Semi-Private Lessons
Many of our campers choose to sign up for semi-private lessons for their time at camp. These lessons are a great opportunity to develop more advanced skills, practice on the x-country course, or take a dressage lesson.
