Bryn Mawr Riding Camp has developed a relationship with the University of Findlay and Centenary University, two of the most well-known equestrian schools in the United States. Horses that compete during the year as part of both schools’ IHSA (Intercollegiate Horse Show Association) and IDA (Intercollegiate Dressage Association) programs spend their summers at Bryn Mawr Farms, helping campers reach their riding goals.
The Riding Director at Bryn Mawr Riding Camp and the coaches of Findlay and Centenary’s equestrian programs work together to select the very best horses to come to Bryn Mawr, based on skill set, show experience, and temperament. They range from Hunt Seat veterans and schoolmasters, perfect for beginner riders, to advanced dressage, hunter, and jumper horses suitable for teaching upper-level riders the intricacies of the discipline.
For the summer of 2026, Bryn Mawr Riding Camp will be receiving a total of 40 horses, many of which return year after year.
Meet The Stars of 2025
Our Camper Favorite Horses!
Ace
Ace is a 23-year-old Zweibrucker gelding from the University of Findlay that has been coming to camp since 2022. He is an experienced hunter and equitation horse and has even competed at IHSA Nationals for several years! He is a camper favorite for both jumping and flat lessons.
Benita
Benita is a 17 year old Warmblood mare from Centenary University, who joined us for her first summer in 2025. She is adaptable for any and all levels, and is a star for horse show, cross country, and dressage days! She is an all around rock star, and we look forward to having her for many summers to come.
Bishop
Bishop was an excellent new addition to our horse roster this past summer! Coming from the University of Findlay, he is an 11 year old bay Thoroughbred gelding, with a puppy dog personality. Bishop is excellent for our intermediate and advanced riders, and can do it all! He also loves to be pampered and doted on.
Ernie
Ernie is a 19 year old Welsh Pony cross from the University of Findlay who spent his first summer at Bryn Mawr in 2025, and we hope that he will be joining us for many more! Ernie is one of the smallest in our herd, and he is a favorite of our beginner and intermediate riders. He is fantastic at teaching first time canters and jumps.
Little Man
Little Man has been an integral part of our camp herd since 2018! He is a 22-year-old Pony of the Americas gelding from Centenary University. Little Man is adaptable to all levels of rider, from beginners to advanced. He is often our most requested horse on Horse Show day.
Scotch
Our “golden boy” Scotch has been at camp since 2021, and is a 17-year-old Quarter Pony from the University of Findlay. Besides his striking color, Scotch is an all-around fantastic pony who gives his riders a good challenge! He can be mischievous at times and always keeps his riders on their toes!
