Hire A Pony riding academy has been in business for over 12 years. We offer horseback riding, riding lessons, children's camp, ponies for birthday parties, petting Zoo, horse drawn hay rides, and boarding, all in a country setting. Owner, Armando Gort, has over thirty years experience and is actively showing horses and competing around the state.

We believe all children should be introduced to horses. Horses teach children responsibility, patience and discipline. There is a saying "The outside of the horse is good for the inside of the man." We believe in that saying. Our summer camp typically brings kids from Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough Counties. It's a great opportunity to introduce your child to the beautiful world of horses. Stop by and say hello.
