A horse farm day built around riding, care, and confidence
Campers help with feeding, grooming, safety around horses, tacking up, a riding lesson, and caring for the horse after the lesson. After horse time, campers have lunch, games, and creative activities.
Beginners are allowed. River Vu Farms recommends that new riders take a few lessons before camp if possible so they feel more comfortable when camp starts.
Campers should bring lunch Monday-Thursday and something to drink. Pizza is supplied on Friday.
