Pony Rides
Our youngest Bynden Wood Day Campers and campers in our Explorer program at Camp Conrad Weiser, will all have a pony ride. Once a week the youngest campers get to experience horse riding in the pony arena.
Camp Horseback Riding Lessons
All campers ages 7 and up, in Bynden Wood or Conrad Weiser, may sign up for English riding lessons. This add-on program allows campers to go to the barn five days a week for 1-hour lessons. After passing the rider test, each camper will ride on the trail. There is a maximum of 8 students per class.
Riding Specialty Camp
Ages 8-15
Campers, who are truly passionate about horses, can spend their entire day at the barn in one of our Riding Specialty Camps at Camp Conrad Weiser. The Campers get the opportunity to immerse themselves in the equestrian experience. This separate specialty horse camp option allows campers to spend four periods at the barn. Two periods are unmounted and two periods are mounted lessons. During specialty camp, they get a more in-depth experience with lessons such as: the cost associated with owning a horse, barn management, equipment care, horse care, diagonals, 2-point positions and much more. Every Saturday the riders showcase their new skills during their own horse show!
*All participants in our Riding Programs must wear long pants, closed-toed shoes and an approved Riding Helmet (we provide helmets).
