Riding camps and horse holiday camps are very popular in Austria. Thousands of kids and teenagers, mainly girls but also boys, attend riding camps on riding farms and riding schools in Austria especially during the holiday time in summer and around easter. On the most riding farms and riding stables who offer riding camps for kids, the package includes accomodation and meals for the kids. Riding camps are held over the weekend as well as during full weeks. These holiday camps are for many kids a dream come true.
For parents this is the perfect option to fulfill a major wish of many kids, to have their own horse. And the good thing is, they have their own horse just for a week or a few days. Because having an own horse is very expensive. But with riding camps and holiday horse camps for kids, parents can satisfy this whish for a period of time. And after that time, they do not have to care about the horse anymore. So the positive aspects of riding camps for the parents in Austria are high. You kid enjoys a stay at a riding school or horse farm and you do not have to care about the other side, if a horse becomes sick, how to pay for the feeding, who will go out with the horse during rainy or snowy periods and so on. And the kids not only have included some riding lessons within the riding camps, they also can care about the horses. Most of the riding stables in our toplist here in Austria offer daylong access to the stables and the horses. So the kids can also enjoy leisure time with horses, feeding them or just taking care about the horse.
