Riding Facilities
Riding Arenas:
SJ Riding Camp has developed an extensive riding facility over the past 50 years and we still
continue to improve upon it! Our 88 acre property includes three enclosed riding arenas with rubber
footing, 3 cross-country areas with over 30 obstacles, a 20+ stall horse barn, and miles of trails.
Each arena is devoted to one area of riding: our pasture ring is home to our
show jumping course, the main ring for cavelleti and gymnastic work, and the
lake ring is standard dressage size used for flatwork.
Our barn has a large tack room and an indoor teaching area with cross-ties that we use for
barn classes like parts of the horse, equine first aid, and shoeing and hoof care.  Attached to
the barn are 20 standing stalls that lead out into our large paddock area where we groom, tack
up, and hold barn classes.
Lake Ring - 85' x 196"
Pasture Ring - 100' x 165'
Main Ring - 80' x 180'

Cross-Country Course:
All of our horses live out in the 5-acre pasture with our herd or live in individual or
small group turnouts.  
The cross-country course encompasses over 30 obstacles throughout camp
grounds.  The main portion of the course resides in the overlook field by the
lake.  The course includes stone walls, coops, brush fences, log jumps, and
a water ditch.
