WHAT MAKES OUR CAMP SPECIAL?
We really teach the campers to ride. Every camper's favorite activity seems to be horseback riding! Students receive daily instruction in horseback riding. Side-walkers are available for each beginning student until they are able to control their horses. We own over eighteen lesson horses and they were selected for their gentle personalities. Safety is our ultimate priority. Our programs teach horse safety and build children's self confidence and we have an excellent safety record.
WHAT DO INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED STUDENTS LEARN?
Intermediate and Advanced students study horse health and management, basic horse training, farrier facts, in addition to recieving advanced horseback riding lessons. On the last day the riders participate in a horse show with ribbons and all! Everyone leaves with a prize!
WHAT DO BEGINNING STUDENTS DO?
Students will rotate through different learning centers, being taught how to clean stalls, horse feeding, tacking (putting equipment on the horse), washing & grooming, and identifying the parts of a horse, saddle, and bridle in addition to a daily riding lesson.
