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 and a mock Rider Level test on the last day of camp. Formal Rider Level testing is available as an additional charge.

Bring your horse to lodge at the Swell Equestrian Hotel for one week! After an initial consultation, a one week training plan will be developed to help you and your horse connect more as a team. This opportunity is offered year-round.
