2025 REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

Excellent horsemanship skills start with the very first horse or pony experiences! The Ian Millar School of Horsemanship offers personalized instruction for beginner to intermediate riders. We focus on an all-inclusive approach to horsemanship as a first contact for anyone interested in equestrian sport.

In 2015, we began building upon our community’s passion for horse sport with the Ottawa Equestrian Tournaments. Over the past decade, we have established ourselves as one of the foremost equestrian venues in North America; offering a unique blend of national and international level competition that cater to all three Olympic equestrian disciplines: dressage, eventing, and show-jumping.

World-class Show Jumping.

“We do a lot here.”

From introducing students to horseback riding through the Ian Millar School of Horsemanship, to camping, soccer, skiing, mountain biking, events and more. Take a look at what we have going on at #TheParks!
