Party Duration:
Approximately 2 hours total
Activities:
Children are split into two groups:
Barn Time: Learn about horse and stable management in a hands-on experience. Attendees will brush, pick out feet, complete the full tack up process, and learn while following the demo, guided by our knowledgeable staff.
Riding Time: Ride our gentle, trained horses with personal helpers.
Leadline or group lesson format will depend on each rider's experience and staff assessment.
Each group will rotate after 30 minutes, so every child participates in both activities.
After the barn and riding sessions, guests may move to the Lounge area for 50 minutes of party time.

Wear long pants (like leggings or breeches), a fitted shirt, and closed-toe shoes with a small heel (boots are best). Avoid loose or flowy clothing that could get caught.
Turning Point Farm provides helmets that meet ASTM/SEI certification standards, though students are encouraged to have their own professionally fitted helmets. Long pants and closed toed shoes or boots with a small heel are required.
Like any sport, it has risks, but proper instruction, safety gear, and calm school horses make it very safe for beginners.
Most beginner lessons are around 30 to 60 minutes long, depending on your age and focus. Some may include grooming and tacking up before riding.
Once a week is typical for beginners. More frequent lessons can help you progress faster, but consistency is key either way.
Turning Point Farm is a twenty acre farm located in Clarksburg, Maryland. It is conveniently located near Washington, D.C. and Frederick, Maryland, five miles from the Clarksburg outlets, and in the heart of Potomac Hunt country. Adjacent to Turning Point Farm are miles of trails. The property is fenced with four board white PVC, which provides picturesque scenery and safety throughout the farm. The tack room is designed with individual cubbies to ensure proper storage. Turning Point Farm also offers a feed room, hot/cold wash stall, heated/cooled lounge, and rubber matted stalls and aisles throughout the eighteen stall barn. The lit indoor and outdoor arenas provide riding in all weather conditions. A meandering creek and eight paddocks provide ample beauty and sanctuary for the horses.
