The program includes general learning about horses, horse care, safety and tack (horse riding equipment). Your child will also be exposed to the various types of riding including, English, Hunter/Jumper.
Small Groups = Personalized attention and more riding time
We limit each session to 5 children so they get personalized riding instruction. When possible, each child will have their own pony for the week (depends on child's riding ability)
Each child will be grouped according to age and ability for his/her daily riding lesson given by qualified instructors.
Fun Extra-Cirricular Activities:
A healthy snack will be given daily followed by a funfilled acitivity which includes games, crafts, horse mane braiding, making horse treats or painting the ponies! Campers also play/swim in our creek while the horses in the pasture watch them.
Flexible Time Schedule:
Camp runs from 9 a.m. to 1p.m. Monday through Friday (before and aftercare is available for an additional fee). Wear comfortable clothes, including long pants and shoes (not flip flops), pack a lunch, and bring a bathing suit/towel, a pair of shorts and those flip flops for non-riding activities. You'll also need sunscreen, a helmet (a bike helmet will do) and riding boots (or any boot with a heel). Kids are allowed to play/swim in our creek each day.
