Equestrian News Release

Passaic County, NJ - May 8, 2007 - Horse crazed kids with a penchant for learning about all things equestrian can make the most of their summer holiday at the Pine Ridge Equestrian Center's annual summer camp. Pine Ridge Equestrian Center is located at 40 Stephens Road, West Milford, NJ 07480 and run June camp the weekly sessions runs the weeks of June 24, July 9, July 23, August 6 and August 20th.

The full service equestrian facility in West Milford will once again offer its Summer Riding Camp during which children are invited to come experience the fascinating world of horses throughout their summer vacation.

The weekly program is specifically designed for boys and girls ages 7 to 17 years of age. The environment is safe, structured and geared towards children who want to ride and learn as much as they can about horses and the sport of riding either in the English or Western disciplines. The week-day sessions take place at the Pine Ridge facility, which offers both an outdoor arena, indoor riding ring and extensive trails, every Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 2 PM.

Sara Lutz of Hawthorne, NJ, the head of the riding program, has created a schedule that creates a fun and encouraging environment for children and features a variety of well-trained horses and ponies on which to learn to ride.

Each camper will have individual and focused attention and guidance during their weekly session. And when the summer is over, they may decide to continue with their riding career, as the facility is open all year round.

Whether your child has just mastered the posting trot or slow jog, or is already an accomplished show competitor, Pine Ridge Equestrian Center's camp counselors and instructors will be on hand to guide the young equestrian - from the essential fundamentals to honing their skills in the saddle. We have wonderful lesson horses and councilors to attend to the maximum ten children who attend each session.
