Summer Break Lesson Program Registration

Give your child a summer filled with adventure, learning, and the joy of horses! DHG Equestrian's Summer Break Program is designed for young riders of all experience levels, from beginners to those with prior riding experience. Through hands-on horse care, grooming, and riding instruction, participants will develop confidence, responsibility, and horsemanship skills while forming friendships and enjoying an active, outdoor environment.

We have multiple programs throughout the summer. For our youngest riders, we offer a Special Lesson Program from June 24 – 27, exclusively for ages 5 – 8. This tailored session introduces younger children to horseback riding in a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate setting. With beginner-friendly lessons, interactive activities, and guided instruction, this special week provides the perfect foundation for budding equestrians.

With expert instruction, structured activities, and a focus on safety and fun, DHG Equestrian's summer program is the perfect way for kids to develop their riding skills while making lasting memories!
