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. 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.
