Lafayette Reservoir


All campers learn a variety of horseback riding skills.


Horse readiness programs for beginner riders.

Horseback Riding

 Campers develop riding and horsemanship skills in classes geared towards each camper's individual ability level. Each group rides one to three times a week, depending on age, in riding groups based on ability: from novice to more experienced riders.
 Campers ride using bareback pads, which greatly improves camper's balance and riding seat. Lessons are taught in our four riding rings and, based on ability level, campers can also ride on our pasture trails and cross country course.
 Our horses have very gentle dispositions and easily win the hearts of campers. Roughing It employs its own riding staff and all senior instructors are Instructor Certified by the Camp Horsemanship Association.
