Covid-19 Update - Lessons & Camp
About Us
We are an active, family-oriented barn priding ourselves on delivering specialized programs to meet the unique needs of each individual rider. Our goal is to assist each of our students to attain their equine dreams and aspirations, guiding them to be the best they can be while emphasizing fun, friends and sportsmanship.
For those seeking experience in horsemanship, OOF offers a working student program. This provides the opportunity to learn barn management and horse care in a supervised setting while earning points that are applied like cash to anything offered at OOF.
Old Orchard Farm is an OE Approved Facility Member.

Sponsor a Schoolie
Public riding stables have closed since being classified as non-essential services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Without the revenue from lessons and camps, riding facilities are struggling to provide the basic care for the health and welfare of their beloved lesson horses.
You can help by sponsoring a specific schoolie or making an unspecified donation.
You can also support Ontario Equestrians For The Herd fundraising initiative to support riding schools all across Ontario.
OOF Horse Show Series
We are following the recommendation of Equestrian Canada and have postponed all events until at least June.
