2024 Summer Horseback Riding Camp

Merriwood Ranch offers Summer Horseback Riding Camp for girls ages 6-14 in Garland, Texas (northeast of Dallas). Equestrian riders come from across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to build lifelong friendships, learn English horseback riding skills and are educated on proper equine care, whichever camp option you choose and whichever level you’re starting from.

Merriwood Ranch has two camp options available: Traditional Camp, running through the first 6 weeks of the summer, and Modified Camp for the last two weeks.


Why Choose Merriwood Ranch?

Merriwood Ranch has offered summer horseback riding camp for girls in north Texas since 1956. Current riding camp takes place in Garland, TX, (northeast of Dallas) at 2110 E. Miller Rd.

Our riders build lifelong friendships and create unforgettable summer memories through their shared love of horses. Our experienced staff always put safety first while teaching English riding skills and educating the girls about equine care and knowledge.

“My daughter started attending Merriwood summer camp at age 7 and quickly developed a love for the sport, the horses, and the camaraderie with her fellow riders. She continued on to lessons and then competing in local horse shows with Merriwood. Eleven years later, she still rides several times a week and loves being part of the Merriwood family.”

– Keeley H. (Dallas, TX)

How Our Summer Camp Tuition Works

Our summer riding program requires a $200 deposit upon registration and is non-refundable and non-transferrable. The remaining $350/$250 balance and all camp forms are due three weeks before enrolled camp week.

Any camp week that is not paid in full at that time may result in forfeiture of the camp spot. No refunds will be issued within two weeks of the registered camp week.

When paying the remaining balance, please email us at merriwoodranch@gmail.com to let us know you have paid and who you were paying for so we can match payment with the correct camper!
