The Stables at Frederica offers riding lessons to all levels and ages of riders across a range of disciplines, including hunters, jumpers, equitation, dressage, and western. Equestrians may ride their own mounts or utilize of the Stables's school horses. We strive to provide a thorough all-around and inclusive education regarding horses to our students. Safe horsemanship is paramount to our students' experience, as well as the importance of ground skills. A true understanding of all aspects of horse care is an integral component of successful horse and rider partnerships.

The Stables at Frederica offers its students the opportunity to horse show at several local and regional competitions. We horse show on circuits such as the First Coast Hunter Jumper Association, Horse Shows in the Park, PSJ, Global Dressage Festival, Tryon, and others. Our competition schedule and program is focused on providing the most relaxed and fun experience for both horses and competitors.
Camp days are held during the summer, holidays, and school breaks. These fun-filled days give riders the chance to express their love of horses through various art projects, horsemanship sessions, and of course daily riding lessons. Children build on teamwork skills through games and competitions, and study the importance of care of horses.
