Overview
Carriage Hill MetroPark's Riding Center is saddled up and ready to help you hit the trail! Sign up for one of our camps or lesson programs. For more information or to register, call the Riding Center at 937-274-3120 or visit our horseback riding programs page.

Rides and Camps
Pony Rides: Do you have a little wrangler that is too young for horse camp but can't wait to ride? For those 2-7 years of age, stop out and visit us on Saturdays and Sundays beginning in June between noon and 4:00pm for a hand led pony ride. Bring your camera to capture this unforgettable moment. Reservations are not required.

Lesson programs are a great way to learn how to ride a horse or brush up on your riding skills. Participants will attend once a week for eight weeks. Each lesson will last for approximately one hour. Curriculum includes riding as well as before and after care for your horse. Participants must be at least eight years of age.

Horse Camps are a great opportunity to experience riding in a fun group setting. Come enjoy one of our Spring, Summer or Fall Camps. Youth Summer Camps are available June through August. Adult Camps and Family Camps are available during May and September.

Girl Scout Badge Program
We now offer a Badge Program for Girl Scouts. These programs are offered at $15.00 per girl scout. If you are working towards another badge, contact us and we will try to accommodate you. Call 937-274-3120 to find out which badges we offer at this time.
