Horseback Riding
There are many approved horseback riding facilities within our council jurisdiction who welcome Girl Scouts for lessons, trail rides and badge work.
Approved facilities have been inspected by the council within the past five years, carry appropriate business insurance and meet all Girl Scouts safety standards. Girl Scouts may not participate in any horse-related activities or horseback riding programs at non-approved facilities! Please check with the site you are interested in visiting about available services, pricing and details as these all vary depending on the facility.
Please note: Some of the approved facilities DO NOT have a certified person on staff in First Aid/CPR. When this is the case, a troop must provide their own adult first aider.
If you or someone you know operates a horseback riding facility and would like to become an approved program site for Girl Scouts, please email Liz Schmidt or call Customer Care at 1.315.698.9400 or 1.800.943.4414 to schedule a site visit and discuss options. Outside riding facilities must provide the council with a current certificate of liability insurance (Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways named as additionally insured is suggested).
