Lessons, Camps, and Events

  • Lessons & Parties

    Our horseback riding lessons offer a fun and supportive environment for all riders. Whether your child is a beginner just starting to learn the basics of horse care and riding, or they have some experience and are ready to refine their skills, our lessons are tailored to meet each rider’s individual needs. Campers will receive hands-on instruction in a variety of essential areas, including grooming, tacking up, basic riding techniques, and safety around horses. As lessons progress, riders will build their confidence and independence, learning skills such as steering, balance, and control.

    In addition to our riding lessons, we also offer Horse Birthday Parties, a unique way to celebrate your child’s special day. Birthday parties at Sauvie Island Stable give kids the chance to interact with horses, enjoy pony rides, and experience the joy of horse care, all while having fun with friends and family.

    Each lesson and birthday party combines fun, learning, and personal growth, ensuring that riders not only improve their abilities but also create lasting memories with their equine companions.

  • Horse Camps

    Our Horseback Riding Camps provide the perfect opportunity for young riders to develop their skills in a fun and safe environment. Whether your child is new to horses or has some riding experience, we have the perfect program to meet their needs. For beginners, the Intro to Horse Camp focuses on building confidence with basic horse care, grooming, and learning to ride, all while introducing safety practices around horses. As campers progress, the Beginner Rider Camp takes their skills to the next level, helping them refine their riding techniques, build independence, and further their knowledge of horse care. Throughout both camps, campers will enjoy hands-on experiences, daily riding lessons, and the chance to make lasting friendships with fellow campers and their equine companions. Each camp is designed to promote growth, confidence, and a love for horseback riding!
