Whether you’re planning a birthday party or a school field trip, we’d love to share our peaceful space and kind-hearted horses with you. It’s a hands-on experience your kids won’t forget!

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming two sweet preschool groups out for field trips this week, and let me tell you—these little cowboys and cowgirls stole our hearts!

At Riverside, it’s all about the horses. We focus on teaching gentle, kind, and respectful horsemanship—building confidence, connection, and a whole lot of smiles along the way.

Take a peek at some of the fun we had—just look at those happy faces!

🐴🌟 28 Years of Horse Camp Magic! 🌟🐴

A huge THANK YOU to all the families who have signed up for horse camp so far! We’re counting down the days until another summer of riding, learning, and making unforgettable memories.

It’s hard to believe this is our 28th year running! One of the most special things about this camp is seeing second-generation campers—kids whose parents once rode these same trails. And just like us, our familiar herd is still going strong! Many of our beloved horses, now in their late 20s, are just as happy and eager as ever to teach another generation of riders.

If you haven’t signed up yet, don’t wait too long! Spots are filling up, and we’d love to have your child join us for an unforgettable experience with horses, friends, and plenty of adventure.

📅 Sign up today!
