Opened in 2005, the Normantown Trails Equestrian Center is a 6-acre facility on Normantown Road, just south of 119th Street. The center features a large 78x180 foot indoor riding arena with a heated observation area, a small indoor riding arena, two large outdoor riding arenas, and five paddocks. The stable has 48 11x12 foot stalls and includes a renovated indoor wash rack, as well as a club room/classroom.

Instruction
The center offers group instruction, private and semi-private lessons for riders of all ages and levels in English, Western, Dressage and Hunter-Jumper. Our lessons focus on safe handling and riding, and the center has several school horses and lesson ponies to accommodate beginners as well as more advanced riders.

Scouts will learn the basics of horse safety and be shown how to properly groom a horse. Children will be divided into small groups after the demonstration to clean a horse or pony. The grooming session is followed by a short ride on a horse or pony that is led by a handler. There is no riding instruction included. Sessions are available by appointment only and are subject to availability. Sessions are 1½ hours long.
