Get Your Kids Outdoors This Summer at Honeysuckle Farms Riding Academy

Only a Few Spots Left for Week of August 3rd!

By Dominique Morrison ~ Honeysuckle Farms Riding Academy May 26, 2020

Let’s be honest, life looks different now than it did even 4 weeks ago. New guidelines are encouraging us to spend more time outside and we are ALL IN! Let your kids be kids this summer - let them play in the fresh air, getting dirty, ditching technology and having a blast. And the great news is that YOU all agreed. Our camps filled up faster than ever before this summer and we have only a few spots left for our August 3rd Camp. 


Our farm is home to not only horses, but also cattle and an official sorting ring, covered ring and outdoor jumping ring. We ride English and Western and are involved with the local fox hunting club, Mecklenburg Hounds and Union County Saddle Club. Beyond that, we have the 4H club Honeysuckle Trotters, swim with the horses, have a covered ring, trails, outdoor trail course and much more. We welcome riders as young as 3 and never any experience necessary! 


While we would hate to turn you away, the new restrictions we put in place due to COVID have made it increasingly more challenging to accept all of the kids who want to join us. That said, you are welcome to check in with us to see if a spot has opened up.
