THE INTERNATIONAL RIDING CAMP is for girls, aged 7 to 17, who love horses and riding. Located 90 miles Northwest of New York City, the riding camp provides an environment in which horse lovers can experience various riding disciplines: hunt seat equitation, cross-country jumping and polo. We also offer a special program for beginner riders that features private lessons designed to develop riding skills rapidly and safely.
We offer a well rounded equestrian camp program along with water skiing, tennis, swimming and arts and crafts. Our riding camp offers three hours of riding lessons a day, six days a week. For some campers, three hours a day is not enough riding so we offer options of adding additional riding time so they can ride 4 1/2 to 6 hours a day.
There are shows every week, and the camp takes a maximum of 7 campers at a time to compete in each show. There are also horse shows at camp every two weeks, in which campers can demonstrate their riding skills.
Our teaching techniques enable our students to experience success in graduated steps, promoting their self esteem and confidence. Since all of our campers love horses, their common interest allows them to make new friends right away. There is a maximum of 45 campers in any session. About half of the campers come from the New York metropolitan area; the rest come from across the United States, Europe and South America. Our campers make lasting friendships that continue many years after they leave our riding camp.
