Foothills Farm Summer Riding Camp is an experience like no other! Foothills Farm has 320 acres of lovely property, complete with a cross-country course, two large outdoor riding rings with both hunter and jumper fences, and a large indoor riding arena. The camp caters to both the beginner and show rider in hunter/jumper and combined training. One of the lessons is over our well-designed, cross-country course.
Most of our counselors and instructors have been through the Canadian Pony Club, Equine Canada coaching courses and all have first aid training. They have a great deal of experience working with children, providing a safe and correct education. Our instructors have mileage both on the Trillium and “A” circuits and the combined training field, providing well-rounded horsemanship.
