The camp group is limited to 10 campers. This is to ensure its not too crowded and everyone gets equal time on the horses. Camps are for boys and girls ages five to fifteen.
A non-refundable deposit of $ 75.00 will hold your child's spot in the camp.

OUR GOAL: TO SHARE A UNIQUE HORSE CAMP EXPERIENCE
Four
days of absolute fun in a safe, wholesome and supportive environment
where campers experience adventure while building character and
confidence. The instruction and activities at this camp will challenge
and improve each campers riding skills. Lessons emphasize communication
using the four natural aids to control the horse. We focus on developing
the proper body alignment, balance, independent seat in each rider.
Fully supervised, individual attention and foremost of all, safety is a must, where we aim to produce competent riders who appreciate
and practice with intelligence and competence, all aspects of sound
horsemanship. Campers will learn through fun and meet new friends! We
believe that horses are good for people and if properly educated, people
can be good for horses! We find that lessons learned working with
horses help develop skills that last a lifetime.
For
the seriously "horse crazy", we highly recommend two or more sessions.
Subsequent lessons will foster a closer union between horse and handler.
The first week of camp is very active in their learning stages of new
things, with goals that are designed for each class that builds on one
another. This gives the student self confidence in accomplishment with
every lesson and a greater sense of responsibility.

- Sunscreen (Please apply before drop - off)
- Water games attire
- Towel
