SUMMER and HOLIDAY CAMPS!
Camps are broken into age groups 3-8 and 9-15. All skill level riders beginner through advanced can be accommodated and will have a great time!
Note: Our Holiday Camp combines age groups as Christmas break is shorter! We accommodate ages 5-15 :)
Children with no prior horse experience are welcome, but we do need ALL attendees to wear a HARD SOLED BOOT with a small heel to ensure they are safe on the ground around horses as well as when mounted. Helmets and all other riding gear can be provided.
Daily schedule is 11-3:00, entails a horsemanship class on varying horsecare topics, lunch break, riding lesson and craft time. All students must pack a lunch for every day of camp.
Camp is $250. A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $100 is required to hold your childs spot, then the remainder is due via check or PayPal to Emerald Leaf Stables the first day of camp. Days may not be pro-rated, and camp is non-refundable once paid. Exceptions may be made on initial deposit due to medical emergency. BOOK YOUR SLOT ON OUR BOOKING PAGE! Note when booking it will only appear as one day, but the whole week is reserved for your child :)
In case of inclement weather, the campers will not ride that day and an in-barn unmounted session will take place! In case of more than ONE rained out day per camp week, makeup riding slots will be offered. Please send your camper in weather appropriate clothing!

All children receive a Pony Ride on one of our wonderful ponies and get to take home an Emerald Leaf Horseshoe! All children are supplied a helmet to wear and each pony has a handler, so our experience is very safe.

“I have been riding and showing Hunters for over 20 years, and have taken lessons and boarded at quite a few barns across several states. I can easily say Emerald Leaf has been my best experience so far. Crystal is a very educated trainer and barn manager who goes to great lengths to ensure her clients have the best possible experience, regardless of their level. The lesson program is excellent, and Crystal is a wonderful teacher. It is a great place for beginners to get their start, and also a great place for advanced riders to continue to progress. Up until this point I had never had a trainer that was so good at understanding and explaining the “why’s” behind things, and I feel my riding has improved dramatically as a result.
Additionally, the facilities at Emerald Leaf are excellent. The ring is impeccably maintained with excellent footing, a variety of jumps, and lighting. The pastures and paddocks are expansive and well-kept. The barn is clean and beautiful with top-of-the-line amenities. And last, but certainly not least, it is all within a 15 minute drive of downtown Greenville. Can’t be beat!!!”
