Services & Process

Horseback riding sessions here are designed for participants of varying experience levels, from first-timers gripping the reins for the first time to intermediate riders working on posture and transitions. The Saturday format means sessions are typically group-oriented, giving riders a chance to learn alongside peers in a structured but friendly setting. Summer camps take things further, offering multi-day programs where kids spend mornings grooming horses, learning stable safety, and riding under supervision. Camps often include horsemanship education beyond just riding, covering basic horse care and handling skills.

Service Area

This facility serves riders primarily from Gig Harbor and the surrounding Kitsap Peninsula communities. Families from nearby areas like Port Orchard, Purdy, and even Tacoma make the trip for weekend sessions and summer programs. The location is convenient for anyone on the western side of Puget Sound.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any riding experience to join a Saturday session?
No prior experience is needed. Sessions are structured to accommodate first-time riders with introductory instruction before you ever get on a horse. More experienced riders will find the group format still offers useful coaching and practice time.
What age is appropriate for the summer riding camps?
Most summer camps at facilities like this start accepting kids around age 6 or 7, though it varies by program. Younger children may be offered led or assisted riding rather than fully independent instruction.
What should my child wear to a summer camp session?
Long pants are strongly recommended to prevent chafing in the saddle, and closed-toe shoes or boots with a small heel are required for safety in the stirrups. Helmets are typically provided, but some families prefer to bring their own certified riding helmet.
How do I register for a summer camp slot?
Call the facility directly at (360) 990-2846 to check availability and get registration details. Camps in the Pacific Northwest tend to fill up quickly in spring, so reaching out early in the year gives you the best shot at your preferred dates.
Are Saturday sessions drop-in or do I need to book in advance?
It's best to book in advance since group sizes are typically limited to ensure each rider gets proper attention. Walk-ins may be accommodated when space allows, but calling ahead is strongly recommended.
Is this program suitable for kids with no horse experience at all?
Absolutely. Many kids attending summer camps and Saturday sessions have never been near a horse before. Staff focus on building comfort and trust with the animal first before progressing to riding skills.
