PARENT NOTE:

Our day camps were created so that all children can participate.

No previous horse experience is required for either of these themes.

All activities can be modified to fit your student's abilities, even if

your student has never been on a horse.

** Due to the fact that our horses

are smaller we do have weight

restrictions. If you are concerned

that this may affect your child,

please feel free to contact us with

your concerns.

CAMP THEMES:

Kick-Off Camp:

This camp is intended for students who are enrolled in one of our Summer

Series or are in regular private lessons through the summer. This week

of camp will serve as a kick off to all of the following classes and will help

students bond quickly with their horse for the summer. As always our

camp will incorporate various aspects of horse ownership such as: care,

feeding, and maintenance. We will also be sampling each of the summer

series themes: Drill Team, Fun & Games, and Trail & Technical

*No experience needed, but registration in summer classes

required. For ages 10 years and older.*

Summer Sampler Day Camp:

This camp is intended for children who are new to our program or are

graduating from our Lil Buckaroo program. Children will be introduced

to various aspects of pony ownership such as: care, feeding, and

maintenance. Children will learn how to behave safely around horses

while grooming and during leading lessons. We will cover correct

mounting and dismounting, basic safety on horseback and balance

exercises to help children become confident on horses. We will also

teach them simple games to play with their pony to help build a bond.

We conclude each camp week with a "Pony Parade" on Friday.

Children are encouraged to help with the "theme of the week" and

decorate "their pony/horse". *No experience needed.*

Fall Saturday Camp:

This camp is designed to be slightly more challenging for children

with more horse experience. We will review parts and care of an

English saddle. We will also cover various aspects of pony care.

Riding lessons will include learning how to safely navigate obstacles

in the arena as well as on the trail. We will also review balance

exercises to help children increase their flexibility and riding skill.

We will end the day with a mock Fox Hunt in the "Field and Forest".
