​What We Do Each Week

Equitation Club is much more than a riding lesson. Each session is designed to include both hands-on time with the horses and educational enrichment through themed, age-appropriate activities.

Hands-on Horse Barn Experiences:
Students actively participate in real barn activities such as: 

Grooming, feeding

Tacking and untacking

Cleaning stalls & paddocks

Basic barn management

Riding (weather-permitting)

Safety and care routines

Educational Fun and Games

Educational Topics:

Equitation Club incorporates educational enrichment across a variety of subjects, including: 

Science: Horse health, biology, and barn-side horticulture

Math: Horse height & weight, budgeting for ownership

History: Breed origins and traditions

Physical Education: Riding technique & rider fitness

Social Studies: Herd dynamics and equine communication

Literature: Horses in film and storytelling

Art: Drawing and painting equine subjects

Equine First Aid: Basic care and emergency response

Throughout the year, we also welcome guest speakers like veterinarians, farriers, and other equine professionals to enrich the learning experience.

 

Weather & Safety Notes:

Equitation Club meets year-round, rain or shine, unless AMP Stables notifies families otherwise.
 

Riding opportunities are subject to weather, footing, horse condition, horse availability, student readiness, group size, and overall safety.

Riding opportunities may be modified or canceled at AMP Stables’ discretion and are not guaranteed every program day.

If riding is not possible, students will participate in horsemanship, horse care, groundwork, barn management, crafts, games, or other educational activities.

In cases of severe weather, including hurricanes or lightning storms, parents/guardians will be notified as soon as possible.

What to Bring:

Students should come prepared to be active, outdoors, dirty, and around horses.
 

Required or recommended items include:

• Closed-toe shoes required at all times

• Long pants required for riding days

• Weather-appropriate clothing

• Refillable water bottle required for every program day

• Sunscreen and bug spray

• ASTM/SEI-certified riding helmet for mounted activities; helmets are available to borrow if needed
   

Horse treats may only be brought or given with staff approval.

Students may not be able to participate in certain horse or riding activities if they are not dressed safely.

The Real Value

Beyond learning how to ride and care for horses, our students develop confidence, communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and leadership qualities that carry into every area of their lives.
 

Working with horses teaches patience, empathy, and responsibility. For many kids, it becomes a transformative experience that builds both emotional strength and self-assurance.

But perhaps one of the most special parts of Equitation Club is the friendships that grow along the way. Through shared experiences in the barn, students form genuine connections both with the horses and with each other. Whether they are learning to groom, cheering each other on during rides, or laughing together during water breaks, these relationships often grow into lifelong friendships rooted in trust, teamwork, and a shared love for animals.
