Highly recommend https://www.facebook.com/161403354362 The Pickering Horse Centre Ltd.. By far one of the best places in that area, beautiful facility and amazing coaches. Their horses are kind, safe, sound, and well looked after.

https://www.facebook.com/177410395636421Belle Wood Equestrian Centre offers an amazing schooling program and camp. Students are educated in horsemanship and to get experience what it’s like “owning” a horse. It’s a true family feeling there. Belinda La Belle Logan provides much more than a riding school! Highly recommend.

If you want directly inside Toronto, you have 2 options. Sunnybrook Stables in Sunnybrook Park(Leslie/Eglinton Ave E) or Exhibition Place right downtown(forgot their riding school name). Both TTC accessible if need be, but add a 10-20 min walk into Sunnybrook Park to get to the stables.

Kyle S. replied:
There's a whole slew of Crown land in SWO...they're called nature reserves abd almost all of them have free camping. Here is a list and double check the ones in your area to ensure they don't explicitly say you can't camp. https://www.ontario.ca/travel-and-recreation/conservation-reserve-management-direction
Scout G. replied:
I have and even discussed it the the former chair of Halton Conservation (the managing entity) and all Conservation Reserves in Halton are closed to camping at any time, some Halton Conservation areas are open to paid group camping. From the Halton Region forestry bylaw "10. THAT the following activities shall be specifically prohibited in each of the Halton Regional Forest Tracts: (a) camping; (b) the making of fires of any type; (c) the use of any open-flame apparatus whether for cooking, heat or light;"
Actually there are pockets of unpatented Crown Land in Southern Ontario along with government land managed by each region. They are just not shown on CLUPA. The Atlas does not reference data in Southern Ontario. Instead you need to check maps at the County level.

Grundy PP is nice and the lakes are non motorized, so you can fish off the rocks or you can fish using a canoe or kayak. It is up Hwy 69 where Hwy 522 intersects. It is a great park, been going there for 20 years. check out the post further down as it was mentioned today with a lot of response.

Le Baron in Markham and Tent City in Vaughan are pretty decent. It is true that you get what you pay for and the good clothing is expensive so personally I try to buy it when there are clearances or at the Outdoor Recreation show in Toronto near the airport (in Feb)
