Horsin' Around Days

Horsin’ Around Days at AMP Stables & Boarding

Out of School, Into the Saddle!

Looking for a safe, structured, and fun way for your kids to spend a school holiday?

Horsin’ Around Days are one-day, hands-on equine education sessions designed for kids and teens ages 8–16. Each session focuses on a specific horsemanship theme, giving students the chance to learn, ride, and build confidence in a supportive barn environment.

No prior horse experience or equipment is required - just bring a refillable water bottle, non-refrigerated lunch, and long pants with closed-toe shoes.
