The Camp Experience
More than time in the saddle
Campers learn the everyday work behind good horsemanship: feeding, grooming, safe handling, tacking up, riding, and caring for a horse after the lesson.
Afternoons can include lunch, games, and creative activities. Beginners are welcome; a few lessons beforehand may help a new rider feel more comfortable when scheduling allows.
