Camps are limited to 24 riders, who are divided into lesson groups of four to six individuals according to riding ability and interest. This allows our counselors to cover material thoroughly with each lesson group. While two groups are riding, the other groups participate in activities involving basic horse care, safety, grooming, bathing, and fun horse-related activities such as vaulting on a barrel and art projects. After two hours the groups switch.
Campers can choose either English or Western Riding.
When registering, please indicate how much riding experience you have had and your choice of riding style. This camp is designed for riders with little or no experience with horses. Students learn how to catch, lead, groom, saddle, and bridle their horses safely. The basics of riding and horsemanship are taught at the walk. All campers ride daily, including a trail ride on the last day of camp.
