Summer Camps-give your child an experience they will cherish forever! Our summer camp is about building riding and horsemanship skills. Space is limited to 10 campers per day. We have a training camp for young riders that focuses on the horses. Typically they advance rapidly in their skill level during a week of camp.  Camp is appropriate for ages 6 yrs. to 16 yrs.

Hours are from 8 am to 2 pm. After hours care available for $10.00 an hour. Children ride in groups of 3 to 5 with one on one instruction for beginners and take breaks as needed to rest-refuel-and observe other riders. Children will participate in horse care (stall cleaning, water buckets, washing horses, etc.cleaning tack, feeding horses, etc.) Total riding time is usually 60 minutes, sometimes more. When it is hot, the horses and children enjoy "riding in the rain" with the water hose to cool down, but we also have an air-conditioned lounge and small indoor riding arena in the event of inclement weather.
