MetroParks Saddles Up For 2008 Season
A new beginning for your equestrian experiences at MetroParks has been in the works.
Over the past couple months the Carriage Hill MetroPark Riding Center Facility has
been upgraded and refurbished to better serve park patrons. A place with plenty
of new looks and lots of new faces are saddled up and ready to hit the trail.
We would like to invite you to come and meet more of our MetroParks family. An Open
House, scheduled for June 1, 2008, Noon-4:00 PM, will be a chance for you to meet
the new staff and horses at the Riding Center. Not only will you get to see all
of the changes, we will also have activities, vendors, and equine demonstrations.
This Open House will also be the start of the season for Kids Camp. Kids Camp will
be held Monday thru Friday, and will offer half-day, one week full of fun, equestrian
activities for children ages 8-17 to enjoy. Kids Camp will run from June thru August.
In September, we will have Adult Camp sessions, for those who are over the age of
18 and would like to have a week full of fun, equestrian activities.
Trail Rides will be offered on Saturday and Sunday beginning June 7, 2008 through
October 31, 2008, reservations are recommended. A guided one-hour ride on the scenic
bridle trail is a peaceful and relaxing way to enjoy the natural wooded areas of
Carriage Hill MetroPark. For the youngsters, ages 7 and under, the Riding Center
offers hand-led pony rides.
Our MetroParks family is excited to start this 2008 season and pleased to welcome
you to Carriage Hill MetroParks Riding Center. Come and see us soon!
