Open Riding Program | Orchard Park Stables

About the Program

Quality Riding. No Ownership Required.

OPS is accepting applications from competent, committed riders for a limited number of spots in our Open Riding Program. It's designed for those seeking consistent access to quality horses without the full cost and commitment of ownership.

Participation includes a monthly program fee comparable to standard boarding costs — giving you a practical, affordable alternative to ownership without sacrificing quality or opportunity.

Ride on your own schedule with access to multiple top-quality horses, premium facilities, and professional coaching. We're looking for capable, responsible riders who value consistency, horsemanship, and respect for the horses and facility.
