The Camp Farwell horseback riding program offers the highest level of instruction in the camping profession. Our classes and activities are crafted for all ability and interest levels.
For many campers, horseback riding is just one of many activities they participate in each day. However, for campers with a keener interest in riding, they have the option to participate in more than one period of horseback riding as well as other activities offered by our equestrian center. And for those “horse-crazy” campers who are absolutely passionate about horseback riding and horses, they can elect to spend their full day up at our Equestrian Center involved in both horseback riding and other horse related activities. Farwell’s Horseback Riding Program is structured to meet the interests and needs of all its campers. Whether you want to have your first up-close and personal experience with horses this summer, just want to take some casual lessons, or you are a barn baby through and through and want to spend your entire day at the barn, you will find everything you are looking for at Camp Farwell.
Beginning riders receive an hour lesson, and approximately half the time will be spent on horseback. We find that beginner riders tire more quickly while on the horse, and half an hour is a good amount of time to be on horseback. The remaining half hour is spent in the lesson, learning to become comfortable and confident around horses. Beginning riders receive one 30 minute semi-private lesson 5 periods per week.
