Every July and August NJEC Hosts Riding Camp for Horse-Crazed Kids!

Every summer, the full service equestrian facility will once again offer its weekly camp sessions for young equestrian enthusiasts that are safe, structured and geared towards learning.

At NJEC an emphasis is placed on safety during all times and all aspects of horse care and horsemanship and our staff to student ratio is 1 to 5 permits each child individualized attention and instruction. Depending on each camper’s riding ability, our program offers the perfect school horse to ride and care for – from the quiet beginner mount to the advanced level show horse.
