Summer Camps

Lucas Riding Academy’s seasonal camps—offered in the summer months —are designed to provide an enriching educational experience for riders of all levels. Our camps emphasize skill-building and knowledge development, covering key aspects of horsemanship—from basic riding techniques to in-depth horse care and stable routines. Each camp day is structured with lessons tailored to help campers progress at their own pace, set individual goals, and learn new skills under the guidance of our experienced instructors.


Alongside daily riding lessons, campers participate in hands-on activities like grooming, tack management, and understanding horse behavior, fostering a comprehensive approach to equestrian education. We also incorporate daily crafts, fun games both on and off horseback, and plenty of smiles throughout the week!


Team-building exercises help develop confidence and camaraderie, ensuring that campers leave not only with new skills but also with lasting friendships. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, Lucas Riding Academy’s summer camps provide an engaging and supportive environment for young equestrians to grow and deepen their passion for horses.


What to Bring to Camp:

✔ Jeans/long pants and boots or tennis shoes

✔ Sunscreen

✔ Water bottle

✔ A packed lunch (with the option to join in a pizza party on the last day of camp!)

✔ A great attitude and a love for horses!


No prior riding experience is required, making our camps a welcoming experience for beginners and seasoned riders alike.


Join us this summer for an unforgettable equestrian adventure, where learning, fun, and the love of horses come together!

Lucas Riding Academy’s educational programs provide an interactive, hands-on approach to learning about horses, making them perfect for preschools, elementary schools, and youth groups. These programs introduce participants to essential horse care techniques, covering grooming, safe feeding, and understanding horse behavior. Each session emphasizes the importance of building a respectful and trusting bond with animals, giving participants a unique perspective on responsibility and empathy.


To enhance the learning experience, we provide a 3-5 day curriculum for teachers to use leading up to our visit. This curriculum covers safety rules, parts of the horse's body, grooming tools and their names and uses, horse feeding basics, common vocabulary terms used around a barn, and more. Students also receive a horse grooming kit to hold and use throughout the week, allowing them to familiarize themselves with essential tools before our hands-on session.


On the day of our visit, each class participates in a 1-hour interactive session led by experienced instructors. Students engage in fun, engaging activities like brushing, hoof care, and safe handling techniques, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident around horses. By combining practical skills with animal connection, Lucas Riding Academy’s educational programs inspire a lifelong love for horses and a deeper appreciation for the dedication and care involved in their daily routines.
