Our Program

The Butler School Stables are open to the public. We have miles of trails, a large indoor riding ring and multiple outdoor riding rings. Whether your interest lies in an introduction to horseback riding, pleasure riding or the competitive circuits of dressage, equitation, or eventing, Butler School Stables has a class designed to teach you the appropriate skills. Students are encouraged to participate in a wide variety of local activities. All classes include instruction in horse management. We aspire to develop complete horsemen according to each rider’s individual goals. Many riders find it difficult to own a horse due to the cost of ownership and commitments that prevent daily maintenance and exercise. Butler offers the opportunity to develop a close relationship between horse and rider, and to care for and compete a horse without the commitment of horse ownership. Over the years we have come to appreciate that the happiest horses are those that are handled by familiar individuals. All riders at Level 2 and above are assigned their own horse to groom, tack and ride. A personal locker for your equipment is also assigned at Level 2. During the summer months, Butler Camp provides young riders with the opportunity to participate in an intensive daily equestrian program with a wide variety of activities.
