Saddlewood has been a dream-come-true for girls who love horses. In 1965 our parents purchased 400 rolling acres in the beautiful Bethany Hills. They founded Saddlewood Riding Camp in 1968 with only ten horses and a handful of riders. Fifty years later, Saddlewood welcomes horse crazy girls from all over Canada, the United States and the rest of the world.
Our small group of horses has grown into a herd of over 100 well-schooled horses and ponies who call Saddlewood home. Saddlewood is family owned and operated. It's all about the riding! When campers arrive at Saddlewood they participate in a short riding evaluation.

It's All about the riding! When campers arrive at Saddlewood they participate in a short riding evaluation. Along with this evaluation and the questionnaire filled out by campers before their arrival, all campers are put in one of up to fourteen riding groups according to ability and interest. Horses and ponies are assigned according to the size and ability of the rider.
