Kids + Horses = A Winning Combination!!
Do you have a child who dreams of horses?
You can make those dreams come true with riding lessons at North Wind Stables!
And we think you’ll have fun, too.
Our riding lessons are family-friendly and we invite you to take a seat at center ring to watch your child progress and see their confidence grow as they work to become a team with their equine partner.
If you are tired of being just a chauffer, come experience a different kind of sport at North Wind Stables.
Your child can:
fulfill horsemanship requirements for scouting
log community service hours while volunteering with our nationally recognized and award-winning 
equine welfare organization, Saddlebred Rescue, Inc.
earn athletic/extracurricular credits (through USEF or ASHA of NJ programs)

They will have an opportunity to work at age appropriate tasks with rescued horses under the supervision of our knowledgeable staff. Of course it will not be all work and no play. The schedule allows plenty of time for fun with buggy rides, craft projects and games.

Teens Care Horse Camp - August 8-12, 2011
This week long camp is similar to the Kids Care camp in focus but is geared toward ages 13-17. Campers will have daily riding lessons and receive instruction in all aspects of horse care. Each camper will be assigned a newly arrived rescue horse as their project for the week. They will be responsible for tracking that horse’s care, administrating any special treatments, observing and documenting the horse’s initial evaluation and assisting our staff in our efforts to find it a permanent approved home.
This camp will be an excellent opportunity for any young person considering a career in animal rescue, veterinary science, or any segment of the horse industry. It will be a valuable experience for any horse lover regardless of future plans.
