Camp Descriptions:
Farm Camp:This week is specifically designed for the mini equine enthusiast (ages 4-10) with limited riding experience! Campers brush, feed, ride, care for the horses and engage in various farming activities. They also hike, swim, make crafts and hear from guest speakers such as the vet and farrier. This is an ideal week to see what “farm life” is truly like in a creative and nurturing environment!
Hunter/Jumper Beginner & Intermediate:This week is tailored to those with limited or basic riding experience who want to enhance their equestrian skills! Riders will care for their own horse, receive individual instruction in the ring, clean stalls and learn hunter/jumper style riding. Campers also swim, hike, trail ride, bathe the horses, partake in team-building activities and more. This week highly emphasizes the importance of horse care, horsemanship and creating a lasting bond between horse and rider.

They also learn veterinary care, farrier skills, how to load a horse in a trailer and more. This camp is limited to 8riders. Riders need to be proficient at the posting trot to attend.
