H2J Riding School's Private Summer Camp is regarded as the valley's most educational and comprehensive equestrian program for children. Students in H2J's program learn how to ride as well as take care of horses.


We will be holding camp at Cedar Ridge Ranch (CRR) through the 2010 season. CRR is located on the Crystal Springs road in the mid-valley area of the Roaring Fork Valley. Free transportation to and from camp will be provided by our licensed and insured carrier. We will be making pickups at the Ruby Park bus terminal in downtown Aspen and the Snowmass intercept lot at the intersection of Colorado Highway 82 and Owl Creek Road. Complete directions to Cedar Ridge Ranch can be found here

 

Students are divided each day into three groups: Intermediate students MUST BE COMFORTABLE AT WALK AND TROT. Advanced students MUST BE COMFORTABLE AT WALK, TROT AND CANTER.

If you have a student who is not quite comfortable at walk and trot, we have a private lesson program that is designed specifically to get your student "up to speed" and into the regular camp program.

In addition to the three main groups at camp, Advanced students can participate in our Rising Stars program where students will focus on jumping techniques and preparing for horse shows. Rising Stars students must either lease or own their own horse. Contact Kim Dixon at 970-379-7865 for information about leasing.
