Cedar Lodge Riding Weekends

Spring 2010: Due to scheduling conflicts and varying interests we have changed the format of our Riding Weekends. We are not formally scheduling any ridng weekends. Instead, we are giving a list of weekends that we are open to groups or individuals that would like to come and visit us for a riding weekend format, or a riding weekend with a bit more relaxed schedule to give the riders a chance to enjoy other things that Cedar Lodge and the surrounding area might have to offer. Fee schedule will depend on format.  

Full Schedule (listed below) will cost 200.00/person/weekend,

OR design your own using the following format:


Housing in Farm House:
20.00/night/person  Meals: 7.00/person/meal  Riding Lessons -Private and Semi-Private 20.00\ flat 25.00\jumping Group Rides-For on ground guests only. 30.00 per rider; includes instructional ride and trail ride.

Weekends that Cedar Lodge is open to outside groups (Subject to change as we fill up):  April 9-11;   April 16-18;   May 7-9;   May 21-23

Spring  Schooling shows 2010*:

May 2nd: Huntington Valley



Our Riding Weekends have become increasingly more popular over time. They have proved a hit with the "beginner, I have never ridden," and the "Advanced, but I need to improve" alike. There really is not a particular age, or ability. Some riders are returnee campers, some ride with us year around, and some are new to Cedar Lodge and may be checking us out for a possible summer stay. Some have no ties with our programs  at all, and are just looking for an intense riding experience for a weekend, and some are here to "hang out" while someone else they are with are busy working hard in the ring. Though many riders come alone, an increasingly popular new group is the sons and daughters with mom or dad in tow. Some parents choose to participate in the riding classes, some choose to let their children ride while they enjoy a relaxing weekend in the country. Riders and parents should keep in mind that we are primarily a Hunter/Jumper stable, and therefore, our lessons are primarily English based. We are able to offer Western riding for beginner and intermediate riders only.


Costs for full Riding weekend format: 200.00 includes: Room, Board, 4 instructional rides, Evening Programs, Lectures.

Housing: Bunk Housing in our refurbished farm house. Bunk beds, electricity, heat, 2 private baths. For those that might think this would be too rustic, housing also available in our guest rooms for an additional fee.

Want to try Showing? Why not join us for our schooling shows! Every year Cedar Lodge participates in several schooling shows in both the fall and the spring to bring out their young horses and riders and shake out all the kinks in their "seasoned" competitors and mounts. These weekends start on either Friday night or very early Saturday morning with lessons and show preparation, and are followed by an all day Sunday Horse show, either on Cedar Lodge grounds (with participation of other stables as well) or hauling to one of the local stables. They serve as a good way to try out showing in a less competitive, less stressful environment. Qualification criteria is the same as Cedar Lodge Summer Show team. If you have questions, contact Chris Cochrane at (269)674-8072 for more information.
