Sessions

Younger campers will learn how to properly groom, tack, and care for the horses through each week of camp. They will learn how to properly sit in the saddle and control the horse at the walk or trot. The younger students will also learn how to care for baby farm animals, such as chickens, rabbits, goats, a piglet, and more. They will explore the forest and discover what lives in the streams and ponds. In the afternoons, they will swim and fish. They will also learn how to play jump rope, hopscotch, dodge-ball, kickball, and many other fun, exciting games.

More experienced campers learn the more advanced techniques of riding, trotting, cantering, controlling the horse on the trails, gymkhana games, jumping, and introductory dressage among the topics.

Each week has a different theme, from hunter equitation, to western speed events, to games on horseback. Every day your child will spend several hours with the horses learning all about the horse and horse back riding skills. They will learn about different breeds, proper care of the horse, and most importantly safety in handing horses.

The week-long camp runs from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM.
