Cedar Lodge Riding Weekends
 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, please contact us with weekends that you may be
interested in coming to visit us as an individual or group. On
occasion, those weekends will then be offered open to others. Riding
weekends can follow the typical schedule listed below, or may be 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
Scheduled weekend for Fall 2011:TBA
OR design your own using the following format
Call or e-mail for availability and pricing or if you are interested in a different weekend than listed. Chris

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 English based .
 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 and less expensive 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.
