Bunker Park Stable is located within Bunker Hills Regional Park in Andover, MN and managed by Anoka County Parks. Family fun includes horseback riding along the trails, adult-led pony rides for younger kids, and group sleigh rides and hay rides.

When you drive into the stable parking lot, you will see a big building straight ahead that houses the office and arena. There are some fun kid oriented fun things to do in the yard outside the building.  There are picnic tables and 11 fire pits. The saddles on the log were definitely the favorite of the day.  There is plenty of room for a big party–or two.

The building that houses the office also contains a spacious party room  as well as the indoor arena.  This arena is where they offer lessons and the indoor arena ride during scheduled horse parties. This is required for horse parties for 7-8 year olds. If the participants are 9 years and older, they can choose to have a trail ride instead.

Out back of the arena building is the barn where they groom and tack the horses.

Bunker Park Stable offers so many different options that if you can dream it, there is a good possibility they can do it.  Horse-related, of course.  Do you want lessons?  Contact their office for available sessions.  Do you want to take a trail ride?  Reserve a time and date.  Do you want to have a pony come to your house?  Give them a call.

Summer Equestrian Camps

Children ages 4-17 of all skill levels can participate in a full range of horse riding programs with summer and school release day camps at Bunker Stable. One-day through 5-day camps are offered during the summer, where campers learn responsible horse care and riding skills. These summer camps are quick to fill and tend to sell out by February.

Gianna’s Family Day at Bunker Stable

When I was a kid and went on family vacations, my parents always let my brother and me pick an activity of our choosing.  Since we vacationed most often in the Black Hills, my brother would always pick touring a cave which he and my dad did together.  My mom and I were too chicken.  My choice was always horseback riding.

Always. I always wanted to go on a trail ride because it was the one time a year I got to pretend I was a going to save the day out west. My horse was always the most dependable horse in the barn, and I was always a terrific rider and the most experienced rider. Yep, once I got on that horse and started plodding along the trail, my imagination took off.

Since the time in the Black Hills, I haven’t been able to ride a horse very often. For me, unfortunately, it was always one of those tourist trap things.  Until I discovered Bunker Park Stable, that is. Now anytime I want to, I can go for a ride.
