New to WildeWood Farm? Start with Camp!
WildeWood Farm, Inc. offers both group riding lessons and day camp options during school breaks. For new riders, we strongly recommend starting with camp. Camp provides four full hours to learn and get comfortable around the horses, rather than trying to fit everything into a single one-hour lesson.
Horse Camp is an Exceptional Value
Camp is also an exceptional value at $100 for four hours of hands-on horse time, compared to $80 for a one-hour lesson. Camp days allow for more hands-on learning, unhurried instruction, and plenty of individual help from our experienced leader kids.
Riding Lessons are Faster Paced
Group riding lessons are faster paced and designed for riders who are ready to progress. Lessons are offered year-round and focus on skill development and horsemanship.
