Summer Riding Camp at Westwind Community Barn in Los Altos Hills

Love Horses? Los Altos Hills is giving kids the chance to learn to ride! Join in on Summer Riding Camp at Westwind Community Barn

Summer Riding Camp at Westwind Community Barn

A real barn experience, this program focuses on responsible, considerate care of horses. Each rider is assigned to his or her horse for the week, resembling the responsibility and fun of horse ownership. Graduates of summer camp have moved into Pony Club and Olympic-level instruction. We offer quality ponies, pony club curriculum, a low student to instructor/assistant ratio in a park-like setting, with horse games and a horse show on the last day of camp. For more information please contact Victoria Dye Equestrian at or ridewithVDE@gmail.com.
