Horseback Riding Lessons

Riding a horse is not only fun, it is also great exercise. Horseback riding improves muscle strength, coordination and reflexes. It also increases confidence and deepens one’s sense of responsibility and accomplishment. Our riding lessons emphasize both safety and fun and are taught by certified instructors. Private and group lessons are available May through September in six-week sessions. Camp Red Cedar is a member of the Certified Horsemanship Association and the Indiana Horse Council.
