Equestrian Center
The Equestrian Center is a year-round facility supported by the Equestrian Committee.Facilities include boarding stalls, a tack room, outdoor practice ring, show ring, wash stalls, and loafing sheds. A fee schedule is available for private boarding arrangements. A Stables Manager and Head Instructor staff the stables with support staff as needed. Group and private lessons in English, Western, and Jumper techniques for age six and up, trail rides, and pony rides are offered. The Center hosts various events throughout the year, such as Open House and our Dog Festival.
Children's Programs
Pony Camp is a one-week summer program of half-day activities for the young, inexperienced rider who wants to learn the basics. Children age six and up learn how to ride, tack, and groom horses, and gain knowledge appropriate for their age group.
Advanced Show Camp: These one-week camps are for young, avid riders age eight and up who want to learn about all aspects of showing, including theory, course design, and setup. Advanced campers must be proficient in basic horsemanship. Contact the Equestrian Center for other requirements for enrollment.
Adult/Junior Programs
The Equestrian Center sponsors the Hunter and Jumper Show Series at LOW from April through October. These monthly shows offer both juniors and adults an opportunity to compete against other riders in their class. Show trips and an interschool team are also available.
The Lake of the Woods is the longest running hunter show series in the Fredericksburg area. It has enjoyed many years of success and a loyal following.
