Summer Riding Programs


A happy pair of Cornerstone Summer Riding Program Participants!

Cornerstone Ranch Summer Riding Programs

Cornerstone Day Programs are an ideal way to introduce children both experienced and with limited horse riding experience to the pleasures of horse riding, whilst being under the supervision of licensed, qualified instructors.

Students can look forward to learning the basics on how to catch, lead, tie up, brush, bridle, saddle, mount and how to care for a horse. Students will receive riding lessons with an authentic horse show as the grand finale to demonstrate their skills!

All of our stable volunteers and employees over 18 years old are required to submit to a CORI provided by the CHSB, Commonwealth of MA.

Children are required to bring their own food, drinks, sunscreen, and suitable riding attire (such as long pants and a shoe with a heel) for the day. Comfortable clothing such as shorts and sneakers may be brought to change into. Helmets are available.


Summer Riding Program Horse Show Participants

We plan two separate weeks for our riding programs each year. Our Riding Programs consist of up to 24 kids of various levels, from first time riders to advanced. All of our stable volunteers and employees over 18 years old are required to submit to a CORI provided by the CHSB, Commonwealth of MA.

Each Riding Program is held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with an authentic horse show on Saturday which the kids put on! The program horse show is Saturday from 8:30 to noon. Parents, relatives and friends are encouraged to attend and cheer on the participants!

Friday is an extended day because we serve pizza and ice cream (build your own sundae). Pickup Friday is 7:00 p.m. We can be flexible with the drop off/pick up times during the week to accommodate parent's work schedules.
