If you love horses, then you'll love this:

Altadena Stables is looking for high school students and young adults to assist as volunteer counselors for its Summer Horse Camp.

Having an experience with handling horses is preferred, but is not required as long as an individual has the desire and willingness to learn. Training sessions will be offered and will focus on safety, handling of horses, horse behavior, and grooming.

All participants for the training session must register in advance. For more information and to register, call the stables at 626 797-2012. Altadena Stables is located at 3064 Ridgeview Drive, Altadena, 91001. altadenastables.com

Get Ready for 2015 Summer Horse Camp!



We are planning a wonderful summer full of opportunities for your horse-loving child. Select the program that best meets your expectations -- we have something for everyone!

Altadena Stables Summer Horse Camp
The emphasis here is on riding. On most days, campers will ride twice a day -- once in the morning and then again in the afternoon. They will also groom, saddle, bathe, and be involved in many other activities focused around the horses. Campers will have the opportunity to care for an equine buddy during the week. We offer both full-day and half-day sessions.

Check back in early 2015 for session dates and more information!

Full-day sessions: 8:30 to 2:30
Half-day sessions: 8:30- Noon

Rates, registration information and forms are available on the Altadena Stables website.

The path taken: Trails around Altadena




Adjacent to Angeles Forest, Altadena Stables gives access to trails heading north to Mount Wilson, and all the way south to South Pasadena. Actually, you could probably go beyond Mount Wilson and make your way through the Cascade trails; maybe you can find a boarder who has tried it. But that which is in our own backyard, and a few miles up and down -- well, the sights and sounds are unforgetable.
