Stone Mountain Adventures

This Pennsylvania camp offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced riding programs. They have experienced instructors—all trained by respected equestrian professional Pam Hayes-Houldin.

The camp is held at Horsepower Farm, a 60-acre facility with formal riding rings, turnout paddocks, a cross country course, and several forest trails. These are all divided into different levels of difficulty. Each day, campers get a set of drills or activities that are safe for their skill level and prepare them to advance to more complex challenges.

But the most unique aspect of the Stone Mountain Adventures program is its therapeutic riding camp for people with disabilities. Pam Hayes-Houldin is a licensed equine therapist and wellness coach. Equine therapy uses horse riding to develop muscle strength and balance while providing a healing connection with the horse.
