Advanced Riding Program

HVC's riding camp, called Brumby, is the best of both worlds; A fun riding camp within an all-round arts and outdoors experience. Named after the wild horses of Australia, the program hosts 12 riders and four instructor/counselors.

Brumby riding campers live near the stables, each rider managing their "own" horse, feeding, grooming and tacking-up each day. The group rides for 2+ hours daily, enjoying dressage, vaulting, cross-country, gymkhana, late afternoon trail rides and more. The session concludes with an equestrian show for the entire camp.

Located at the top of a grassy hill overlooking the horse pasture and close to our barn hosting 20 animals, 3 riding rings equipped with loads of jumps, and two spacious turnout pastures encompassing about 20 of HV's 300 acres. And we spend time on several horse trails throughout our woods.

What Families Say

  • “We chose HVC of the warm nurturing environment, the ability to have a horse to care for but to also have the benefits of an all around camp to explore other interests.”
