Horses are an integral part of Hilltop’s daily program.  Campers receive horses during cabin activities and intensives.  The regular horse program includes ring and trail riding for beginners, intermediates and advanced riders as well as horse care, horse games and stable management. 

In addition to the normal horse program, Hilltop offers two optional (additional fee) instructional opportunities - Horse Clinics and Horse Lessons.  This is a very popular program for campers who have a great love of horses.

Horse Clinics

Clinics consist of 3 lessons (Mon/Wed/Fri during Free Activity) in a specific
horse discipline (Equitation or Jumping). Clinics are a group lesson, 6 camper maximum.

• Weeks 1,3,5,7 - Advanced Equitation and Beginner Jumping

• Weeks 2,4,6,8 - Beginner Equitation and Advanced Jumping

Horse Lessons

Lessons are sold on an individual basis.  Lessons are semi-private, maximum 2 campers.  Camper will be able to choose what discipline they would like to work on during the lesson: English, Western, Dressage, Jumping, Horsemanship or Showmanship.  Lessons will be scheduled during a cabin activity time slot.
