🐴 Does your child dream of horseback riding? 🐴
This Winter Break, give them a chance to saddle up and experience the joy of riding at Holiday Riding Camp! 🌟 At Farr Park Equestrian Center, campers (ages 9–12) will learn basic riding skills, horse care, and stable management while making new friends and enjoying fun crafts!

Pick a session that suits their style:

This style focuses on precision and elegance, with a smaller, lighter saddle for closer contact with the horse. It’s commonly used in disciplines like jumping, dressage, and hunting. Think equestrian sports! 🏇
