SUMMER RIDING PROGRAM 2022

ALL SESSIONS ARE FULL FOR SUMMER 2022!!


Essex Equestrian Center's summer riding program offers something for every rider no matter age or ability! Whether you've never sat on a horse or have a substantial amount of riding experience, you will leave camp with enhanced knowledge and horsemanship skills. Our experienced counselors will pass on their extensive knowledge via activities such as grooming and bathing demos/practice as well as presentations about horse colors and markings, among other topics. Aside from educational activities, students will partake in fun games during which they can win prizes. Crafts will also be made throughout the week that serve as mementos once the week is over. These include a photo with your favorite horse, scrapbooks/journals, and more! Overall, our summer program is the perfect opportunity for riders to acquire a wide range of basic knowledge that equestrians are often left to pick up on their own over time.
