French Hill Farm Horse Riding Academy Oregon

Is your child a horse lover? If so, our summer riding camp is just the right place for him or her. Our Riding Academy specializes in teaching English horseback riding at all levels for those ages 7 and up, including adults. French Hill Farm summer camps are designed especially for campers ages 7-14 who wish to learn how to ride or to improve their present riding skills. Additionally, we offer Kindercamps for children 5 and 6 years of age.

Our goal is to teach the basics of riding and taking care of horses in a safe and fun environment. We feel that safety around horses is extremely important. Our school horses are carefully chosen for their ability to help people learn to ride without the fear of getting hurt. They're a very lovable group of experienced horses and ponies.

In addition to our morning and afternoon riding sessions, we spend time learning all about horses and their care. We learn to bathe horses, groom them and tack them up. Throughout the day our focus is on having fun and doing so always in a safe way.
