Merri-Mac's riding program is one of the finest in America. The directors' family's extensive experience on the national "A" show circuit and fox hunting has given them the knowledge to select an outstanding team of instructors and camp owned school horses. The program consists of instruction in hunt seat equitation from beginner to advanced.
Our campers begin in the ring, and when appropriate may even start one on one with a lounge line. Here they learn the basics of communicating with a very large animal through very subtle movements. As they progress our campers move from beginner to advanced levels, learning diagonals, leads, flying changes, leg yields and much more as they begin to build a partnership with their horses. Girls who are ready can also begin jumping over fences, and those on a more advanced level can continue to grow with the Merri-Mac riding program.
