McCarthy Stables

From April through November, McCarthy Stables gives public riders easy access to the bridle trails and polo fields of West Fairmount Park. The facility offers public boarding and a summer camp for kids ages 8 to 15.

McCarthy Stables is also known for its Work to Ride program that offers low income, inner city kids the chance to interact with and ride horses. Check out this innovative program that's been featured in Sports Illustrated (9/20/04) and on HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.
