Treat your kids to an equine experience they’ll never forget.
Does your son or daughter love horses?
Why not nurture that love? We offer intensive riding weeks for students under 18 at all experience levels—not just for summer but also for spring and winter breaks.
Each day kids get to ride, both in the ring and through the woods. We also tailor activities to their experience level as well as age range. For example, if they are more experienced they might work on jumping, while we teach newcomers walking and trotting on the lunge line.
Your child will have lots of fun making new friends (both two-legged and furry) while getting plenty of fresh air and exercise.
So what are you waiting for?
Register today before our sessions sell out.
We make sure activities are both fun and educational!
Activities Include:
At the end of each session, riders put on a horse show for parents and friends.
The atmosphere at Frog Hollow Farm is supportive and non-competitive. We’re all about having fun with horses safely!
Enrollment is limited to no 5 participants per session, to make sure each child gets careful supervision and one-on-one teaching.

Youth Riding Intensives
For riders 7 to 16 at any riding level, youth riding intensives are for the kids who never get tired of horses. We have 3 instructors so there is no difficulty accommodating riders of different levels.
We will love on them (kids and horses), groom them (horses) and teach them up to their abilities. We will ride every day at least once, often twice.
For more advanced riders we will do some gentle “trick” riding, trail riding, dressage (a fancy French word meaning “training” of the horse and rider) as well as riding jumps and cavaletti where ability appropriate.
We may even include an in house schooling show.
Your kids will come home happy and tired.

Dressage4Kids Prep Program
This is for kids who would like to compete in the Dressage for Kids Youth Festival either this year or next. It is an extraordinary educational experience for those who want to show and will include competition days which will be longer on Friday and Saturday.
For kids not showing this year, we will attend the competition as observers/helpers so kids and parents can learn what it is about.
This intensive also is appropriate for any kid who wants to get acquainted with dressage competition and raise their riding skills a notch.
Note: Some scholarships are available through their organization and further information can be found on their website, www.dressage4kids.org
