Horse camp 2022
Summer Camp 2024
Riding a horse is one of the most exciting things to do, and learning to understand how horses think, play and act are super thrilling too!! Our horse program is designed to provide a variety of fun horse experiences for campers...from horseback riding to ground skills and the knowledge of a horseman!
Skills will be assessed on the first day to be placed into experienced-based groups. Assessing experience levels ensures that each camper gets the appropriate coaching they need to be safe and improve skills while at camp.
Campers should arrive dressed to ride, in long pants and smooth-soled shoes (boots preferred), and bring a bandanna to wear under their helmet. All other riding equipment (including helmets) is provided.
Daily schedule
Campers will be divided into groups based on skills and will rotate through 4 stations:
(1) Riding classes will cover a variety of riding styles and safety. Campers will be able to experience riding through obstacle courses, bareback, English, western, jumping, games, vaulting basics, and more. Campers will learn to control their horses at the walk and trot, and canter for those who are ready. All challenges will be appropriate to the skill level of the rider, and safety and fun will be our key focus!
(2) Understanding horses starts on the ground, our ground skills class will focus on safely handling horses by building trust, respect, and communications through natural horsemanship techniques. Learning the language of horses.
(3) Horse husbandry and learning to care for horses is important too! We will also cover horse care topics such as feeding, nutrition, grooming, saddling, horse anatomy, saddle/bridle parts, breeds, colors, knot tying, horse safety, and much more! Fun games will keep things exciting!!
(4) Crafts and art.
*Horse camp is a great way for beginner riders to learn about a variety of riding styles and gain a broad view of how to play with horses. Not only for beginners, riders will be split into groups by age and ability, so all riders will be challenged and learn new things! Camp registration is open for campers ages 5 and up!
**Advanced camp is for riders who are confident and independent at the walk and trot and have been riding in a lesson program.
