Investing in our future
Established in 2012, the Stony Hill Stables Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit program established to offer scholarship equestrian training for local residents. The scholarship includes training lessons over a four month or longer semester. Training includes hunter/jumper equitation or dressage training, horse care, clinics, and competitive show activity. The goal is to promote equine sports, riding education, and good sportsmanship providing local children and young adults a healthy, enhancing life experience.
With the generous contributions from many of our friends, Stony Hill Stables Foundation typically awards five equestrian scholarships per season. We look for children who love horses and are motivated to learn equestrian skills. These merit-based scholarships are awarded to qualified local youth and require Hamptons residency.
Mission Statement:
To promote equine sports education and recreation by offering scholarship to learn hunter.jumper equestrian skills, good sportsmanship, and horse care. By doing so we create essential opportunities for children and adults to connect with other people with similar interests, and to stretch and grow physically, emotionally and socially.
The program is designed to give back to the community by providing equine facilities for a community equestrian program that will facilitate the growth and maintenance of equestrian sports on the East End and provide a space that is safe and inclusive.
Scholarships and Professional Development Programs:
Scholarships are awarded for the express purpose of advancing horsemanship education, good sportsmanship, knowledge of horse care, and social connections with others in competitions and clinics. Scholarships are tailored to each applicant based on their level of experience and ability. Scholarships can include lesson packages at Stony Hill Stables, Stony Hill Stables Camp, and clinics offered at Stony Hill Stables.

SHS Foundation benefit Recap
Here are photos from the Stony Hill Stables Foundation's spectacular benefit cocktail party. Guests included donors, past scholarship recipients, future scholarship candidates and members of the public curious about the programs offered by the foundation. The benefit was meticulously put together by a board of members who excellently orchestrated two dressage demonstrations from farm owner, Wick Hotchkiss and her friend Stephanie Brown-Beamer also of Long Island. Students and previous scholarship winners also gathered to perform a drill team demonstration with ten horses. Lastly, Stella Bilman and her pony Otter gave an engaging jumping demonstration for viewers to enjoy. All in all the evening was a great success for all involved and helped to raise an exceptional amount to donate towards future scholarships. Thank you to all involved for your hard work and dedication to produce such a lovely event!
