Bring the joy of horses and horseback riding to your children!

Sign them up for Lakewood Stables NEW Summer Camp Program.

   

Our weekly summer camp program creates an atmosphere where a special relationship forms between the children and the horses, where they learn to respect and admire these beautiful creatures.

They learn the basics of horse care, washing, grooming, feeding and education on equipment and enjoy horseback riding on the trails. Campers take a break during lunchtime in our air-conditioned and renovated Club House.

Summer Horseback Riding Camp Nassau County West Hempstead

Conveniently located on the South Shore of Nassau County we provide a safe place where children learn from each other as well as from our trained and dedicated staff on the basics of horseback riding and other equine activities.

Nassau County Long Island Summer Horseback Riding Camp

The program is a weekly program from 9am to 4pm, with a one-hour break in our newly renovated Club House, with views of riding arena.

Children must be between the ages of 8 and 15 years old. Cost of camp includes a bucket of horse care supplies and a helmet for each child for that week; however we recommend equestrian attire which will be available for sale in our tack shop. Attire includes your own helmet, riding pants, bookts, chaps and a crop.

Our mission is to grasp your child's love of horses, then create programs through riding and caring for horses that will improve their confidence and self esteem.

Your child will experience responsibility in working as a team member. They will also learn how to set their own personal goals and create a plan for accomplishing those goals. Positive attitude and self confidence are created through accomplishments which will enble them to try new things and succeed in any endeavor.

Lesson Plans with goals are designed for body alignment, balance, leg pressures and seat weight in communicating with your child's assigned horse. This gives the studen self confidence in accomplishment with every lesson.

Horsemanship safety is always our top priority. Learn the safest way to work around horses. Professional instructors certified in their field of teaching riding in either Western or English.

Some of the great programs that take place during the week include the following:

  • Barn Tour & Introduction
  • Scavenger hunts
  • Safety rules
  • Learn parts of tack
  • Learn colors and breeds of the horses
  • Bridle races
  • Ring rides
  • Red light, green light, ON A HORSE!
  • Trail rides in Hempstead Lake State Park
  • Bran Mash Day (Everyone’s Favorite Day!)
  • Learning how to care for the tack and stalls
  • Riding styles & disciplines
  • Riding clothing

Our program is completely designed and managed by Tish Tagliaferri, a licensed and certified school teacher, who has 10+ years experience working with children and specifically with horseback riding camps. Her number one goal is to provide each child with a safe, fun and exciting week at camp!
