Summer Camp
There will be multiple sessions each running a week long. The camps will be geared towards ages 5-12 with campers divided into age groups. Each day, campers will groom and tack horses and have riding time.
Riding instruction will be in the English Riding style. However, we do have a number of Western saddles if campers prefer. Focus will be on equitation as the most effective way to ride and will stress proper use of hands, legs, and body position. We have a variety of wonderful horses and ponies that know their job and are used to working with children.
Campers will:- Learn safe handling of horses, horse care, feeding, and grooming
- Ride at the walk and trot. Canter work will be included if appropriate
- Participate in horse-related arts & crafts, games, and contests
- Watch our professional riders train, ride, and jump horses
- Paint and bath horses
- Learn horse terminology including colors, heights, markings, body parts, and riding styles
- Receive a T-shirt and End-of-Week Party
