Summer day camp for young riders
Camp run weekly in the summer from Monday through Friday from 9 AM till 3 PM.
On a typical day campers arrive, we play a getting-to-know-you game, then we break up into ability based groups for horseback riding lessons. When not riding, students play outdoor activities or do horse related arts & crafts. Campers bring their own lunch. In the afternoon we may have a fun ride, or they may learn horsemanship, veterinary care or basic Farrier (horse shoeing) skills. No experience necessary.
Registration is open starting March 1 based on availability. Registration forms can be emailed to you.
