Riding Camps

Swell Equestrian offers a multitude of horseback riding camps for riders of all ages and abilities. Riding camps are an excellent introduction to horseback riding without a long term commitment. We also offer more focused training camps for horse or rider with trainer Nathalie Green. See below for the different kinds of riding camps we offer.

​

All camps include the  Rider Level preparatory work including practical horse knowledge,  flat and  pole/jump course work.
