Horseback Riding Camps
Beginner:
This session is designed for the rider with little or no riding experience. All riders will ride 1-2 hours per day, learning basic control of the horse in the saddle and on the ground. Riders will learn the correct riding position through explanation, exercise techniques, and demonstrations. Grooming techniques and other horse management details will be taught.
Advanced Beginner:
This camp is for riders who have been on trail rides before, but never have taken a group lesson.
Intermediate:
This session is for riders who have had some prior riding experience. Riders must be able to post the trot and have had some experience with the canter. Riders will continue to practice riding the gaits of the horse, explore the world of equitation patterns, and learn how to execute individual workouts. Demonstrations will be given in the areas of horse show preparation, driving, horse science and advanced equine management. All campers will compete in a horse show to demonstrate their equestrian skills.
Teens Only:
This camp is for riders 13 and older. The goal is to get teens in a riding environment with other teens – any riding ability is welcome.
NOTE: All riders must wear a safety helmet when riding. Helmets are available for rent for $5.00 per week. All riders must also bring their own lunch and drink daily.
