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. If you have attended our summer camp two or more weeks, please consider attending the Intermediate Camp.
Riders focus on working at the trot.
This camp includes a horseback games day and a trail ride day. We have three weeks set aside for riders at this level. Advanced Camp Riders who can post confidently while controlling their horse will want to consider our Advanced Camp, scheduled from August 13 to 17. Emphasis is placed on learning to canter. All other riders must sign up for a riding evaluation so our staff can assess your riding level.
