Welcome to Hampton Riding Centre
Premier riding school in Atlantic Canada
Hampton Riding Centre is located in Smithtown, New Brunswick – just outside of Hampton and about 1/2 hour from Saint John. Owned and operated by Equestrian Canada Certified Coach Jennifer Hanson. Many events are held every year for youth and adults, from fun schooling shows, to clinics with some of the country’s top equestrian athletes and coaches. We are also home to the Hampton Pony Club, which caters to horse crazy kids ages 9-25.

Winter Riding Policy
The winter weather is here!
So it’s time to remind everyone of our winter riding policy.
If schools and buses are cancelled, that doesn’t automatically mean that lessons are cancelled. We are here at the farm and will do all that we can to make sure lessons go on as planned.
If you are unable to get here safely in the poor weather, please let us know as soon as you can.
If we have to cancel lessons, we will make a decision by 3pm and email all of the riders that night.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
Staying Healthy at Hampton Riding Centre
At Hampton Riding Centre, we endeavour to create a safe and fun environment. Please review our "Keeping Us Healthy" policy:

- If you test positive, you may return 5 days after testing positive and when you are no longer symptomatic.
- As of March 14, we no longer are required to wear a mask. However, it is your choice to wear a mask in the barn, tack room and arena.
