SUMMER CAMP - SIGN UP TODAY
All Camp Students are given proper direction in English style riding by seasoned equestrian professionals. All beginner riders will have a personal helper while in the saddle, plus their main instructor. We focus on exercises to improve balance and coordination, which helps them become independent as a rider. In addition to riding, campers learn horsemanship and what it means to care for a horse.
