Grateful for a Wonderful Season
A heartfelt thank you to our riders, families, and community for an amazing year at Piping Rock.
In two short weeks, we will be pausing operations for the winter from December 1st to April 1st, but you can still reach us anytime by email or through online booking.
Keep an eye out—Summer Camp sign-ups will be announced soon!
See you in the spring!
This Thanksgiving week we will be offering mini-camps for ages 8-14. All the kids in the program will receive an hour of instruction on horseback each day. Kids will be assigned their own tack and horse for the duration. Kids will be expected to tack up and untack their horses. The camp will last three hours for three sessions. Camp will meet on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, of Thanksgiving Week. The camp will be offered from 10:00 am-1:00 pm. Campers must be 8 years old to sign up unless they have had special clearance from staff. Kids should pack a snack and lunch
We’re excited to offer five full-session horseback riding scholarships (a $600 value!) for first-time riders ages 11–15.
Winners will enjoy eight Friday afternoon lessons (Sept. 5–Oct. 25) filled with riding, horsemanship, and plenty of barn fun—no experience needed!
Apply by Sept. 1 for a chance to saddle up this fall.
We are so excited to open Summer Camp Registration just in time for Christmas! Give the gift of horseback riding to someone special in your life. We have activities for all ages, ranging from 3 years old to seventy!
Year after year, our staff and horses return insuring that your child can always find a big welcome at our barn.
Please note that All Day Summer Camp has a new entrance. Please drive by the normal entrance to the new entrance and parking lot located on Union Mills Rd behind the jump arena.
We are so excited to be able to offer trail rides again. Groups will be limited to a maximum of 8 people. Rides will be staggered so that there will be only one ride leaving from one location at a time. All staff and guest will be required to wear masks and gloves when on the ground. All staff and guests will be required to observe social distancing as much as safely possible. The tack and helmets will be disinfected before and after each ride. The office will only be available to one person at a time. Please use the restroom trailer for washing hands and going to the bathroom. Reservations are strongly encouraged to be made online.
