CAMP ACTIVITIES
For their safety, campers are divided into small groups of five. Campers receive riding instruction on
horseback twice daily and unmounted lessons in barn and horse management. Riders will learn the basics
of grooming, tacking-up, bathing, and cooling down. Skilled riders may also do bareback rides, trail rides,
and/or play days (including a ride through the water) and learn how to clip and prepare horses for shows.
Visitors to the camp will include a farrier, a veterinarian, and some very famous riders! Campers will also
participate in a barn horse show where they can demonstrate to parents and friends what they have
learned and witness some spectacular professional displays of show jumping.
The tack-up area and some riding areas are shaded. Our lounge is air-conditioned and offers a
television, fridge, microwave, and several couches for rest.
