We offer a variety of half and full-day camps throughout the spring and summer holiday breaks. Daily riding schedules are organized by age, experience level and discipline.
Not only will our riders have personal instruction each day, but will also learn how to properly care for a horse as if they were their own! Those with previous experience will be offered instruction time focused on their disciple choice; hunter, dressage, and/or cross-country. All riders are given the opportunity to ride the horses into & through our freshwater pond (climate pending) or opt for a bareback riding experience, as a secondary ride towards the end of camp day.
(Life jackets will be required and provided.)
