RIDING PROGRAMS


A happy group of 2006 Cornerstone Summer Riding Program Participants!

Cornerstone Day Programs are an ideal way to introduce children both experienced and with limited horse riding experience to the pleasures of horse riding, whilst being under the supervision of qualified instructors.

Students can look forward to learning the basics on how to catch, lead, tie up, brush, bridle, saddle, mount and how to care for a horse. Students will receive riding lessons with an authentic horse show as the grand finale to demonstrate their skills!

Children are required to bring their own food, drinks, sunscreen, and suitable riding attire (such as long pants and a shoe with a heel) for the day. Comfortable clothing such as shorts and sneakers may be brought to change into. Helmets are available.


July, 2006 Summer Riding Program Participants

We plan two separate weeks for our riding programs each year. Our Riding Programs consist of approximately 24 kids of various levels. We do accept children who have never ridden, but we feel they get a little more out of the program if they can take at least a few lessons prior to the start of the program Each Riding Program is held on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with an authentic horse show on Saturday which the kids put on! There is no program held on Monday or Wednesday. Friday is an extended day because we serve pizza and ice cream (build your own sundae). Pickup Friday is 7:30 p.m. We can be flexible with the drop off/pick up times to accommodate parent's work schedules.The program horseshow is Saturday from 8:30 to noon. Parents, relatives and friends are encouraged to attend and cheer on the participants!
