There is more to riding horses than riding horses! Our camp is a chance for riders to immerse themselves in the daily schedule of the farm. They will help with daily chores and care of horses in addition to their lesson. There are always fun horse-related arts and craft projects that are favorite activities too!
Learn by doing! During the course of the week the objective will be to have FUN with and around horses and ponies. In order to do this we will always stress the importance of SAFETY and THOROUGHNESS in the care of horses and their equipment. We combine high-quality instruction and an impressive facility with an emphasis on good old-fashioned fun. .
Our school horses are high-quality, experienced, sensible, and all have show experience. Come have fun and learn to ride with highly qualified instructor.
And of course there will be an hour of riding for each camper in group lessons. Another great way to learn how to ride and practice your skills.
We will encourage a sense of RESPONSIBILITY while at the same time allowing the children to use their natural energy, enthusiasm and athletic ability. We have found that the camp is a very valuable experience which provides the opportunity to absorb the many small details of farm and horse care in a leisurely environment which cannot be duplicated within the rigid framework of a riding lesson schedule.
A typical day will include
- routine chores, feeding, grooming, stall cleaning, turn out, tack cleaning, basic first aid and health care for horses.
-un-mounted learning, tack cleaning, braiding, wrapping legs, bathing, etc.
- lunch: please bring your own lunch
- preparing for riding, grooming, tacking up and riding
- un-tack, groom, putting the horse away and finishing up
On Fridays we finish with a low key pattern exhibition for all the campers. This is a great way to have fun and show off their riding skills
PRACTICAL DETAILS:
All campers must have a release on file in order to attend camp.
