This is the Hands On Summer Day Camp camp you have been looking for!  Interested in having your own horse?  How about adopting a horse for two weeks and learning how to feed, groom, ride and show!!  We will develop your child's confidence and abilities with balanced and controlled horsemanship.   Come and make your 7 to 18 year olds' horsy dreams come true with our 2-week courses!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Beginners session your child will be assigned a horse with a partner. The horse will be theirs to take care of as if it were his or her own for 2 weeks. The students will learn all the joys that go along with owning a horse. The students will be responsible for cleaning their horse’s stall and feeding the horse. They will learn safety, grooming, washing, trimming with electrical trimmers, lunging, trailer loading, showmanship in hand for halter classes, about proper equipment (it’s placement and care) and both English and Western riding at a controlled walk and trot. There will be classroom work as well as riding in both our all weather covered and outdoor arenas. We stress safety while learning how to handle the horse on the ground and riding him. Everyday is filled with hands on experience!!

The Intermediate session is designed to follow the beginning session. Now that the intermediate has control at the walk and trot they are ready to have some fun! There will be exciting ground and mounted activities in Western Barrels and Poles, Pre-Jumping work  over small (18"-2’) cross rails, a Precision Ride to music as well as a Murder Mystery Trail Ride!!  Beginners session or evaluation lesson prerequisite.

  In the Advanced Intermediate session (a 1 week intensive session) the students get their own horse. They are to care for as if it was their own. In this session they continue to learn how to compete just like the Olympic riders. They will learn the Beginning Green As Grass Horse Trial. They will learn and ride the Dressage test, Stadium course and Cross Country course. (2’ jump max.) The student is then ready to continue lessons and compete at this level at our recognized shows!

Whether your child is a beginner or advanced, get quality instruction and individual guidance for your Olympic hopeful!! Sessions run Monday through Friday 8am - 4pm.  Transportation Available as well as extended care. Each session ends with a fabulous demonstration show, awards and a buffet for their family. The demonstration begins on the last Friday at 1:00 pm. Class size is limited to 10 so make your reservations now!!

Please, checkout our Spring Break and Christmas Camp information on our application form! Students must be able to ride at a controlled walk and trot for the Spring Break and Christmas camps! Beginners are welcome during our summer sessions.
