Chestnut Hill Farm Summer Horsemanship Camp

At Chestnut Hill, we believe that riding and horsemanship are not necessarily an end in themselves, but rather a means to a larger goal. Life experiences interwoven with animals, the beauty of the land, and a caring community of people can foster qualities and skills which are not ‘taught’ anywhere else.

Our program is designed to:

• Provide a safe home away from home
• Enhance the love of horses through the teaching of riding and stable management
• Increase self-confidence and self-esteem
• Promote a sense of achievement through skill mastery
• A safe, warm, loving atmosphere with the "feeling of family" due to small size.
• A proven track record of excellent care, superb teaching and satisfied repeat customers combined with experienced instructors.
• A carefully designed riding program to ensure safety while promoting successful learning and skill development.
• Fabulous string of 5 horses and ponies, chosen for safety, manners, training and suitability for riders who are just beginning up to those who actively compete.

Students will participate in the complete horse ownership experience. Beginners as well as more advance riders, and will learn grooming techniques, how to tack up their horse as well as daily riding lessons. They will also learn about anatomy, horse breeds and colors. Other horse related activities include crafts and games, all in a fun and safe environment.
