About Camp Coleman's Equestrian Programs
Camp Coleman can offer an appropriate instructor and a suitable horse for every student. Our instructors are skilled teachers with extensive training and experience who are qualified to teach and supervise students riding Western, English, and trail riding. Before teaching at Camp Coleman, our instructors must complete a week-long training program and receive certification through the Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA).
Our stable is full of proven lesson horses that make reliable, obedient mounts as students learn the basics of good horsemanship. In order to ensure a total horsemanship experience, participants in Camp Coleman horseback programs learn how to ride and explore unmounted topics such as horse behavior, breeds of horses, care of horses, and how to tack the horse. In addition to traditional summer resident and day camps, the Equestrian Center provides year-round community education classes, parent-child classes, and regular weekly riding lessons which are open to everyone.

CHA Accreditation
Camp Coleman's Equestrian Center is one of only a handful of riding academies in the U.S. to receive CHA Site Accreditation. Through the Certified Horsemanship Association's (CHA) peer review process, stables and riding academies agree to uphold a stringent code of operational practices recognized among horse professionals as essential to safe operation of a riding stable. A team of trained professionals visits the facilities to verify compliance with the standards.
