Summer Horseback Riding Programs for Kids
Cornerstone summer riding programs are an ideal way to introduce children with limited riding experience to the pleasures of horseback riding, and for children who are already experienced riders to practice what they know and enjoy the pleasure of learning new skills.
Students can look forward to learning the basics of how to catch, lead, tie up, brush, bridle, saddle, mount, and how to care for a horse. They will receive riding lessons with an authentic horse show as the grand finale to demonstrate their skills!
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.
Drop-off is 8:30 a.m. and pick-up is 4:30 p.m.
Sign-in for drop-off & sign-out for pick-up is required.

The best part of the lessons at Cornerstone Ranch, is having the sense that you are a part of a loving and welcoming community. Whilst learning the skill and art that goes into riding, the bonds that are created between both rider and horse are sure to touch your heart!” -Sammy 15
