Riders must be at least seven, and no more than 14 years old.
The camp goes from 9:30 to 1:30 daily, Monday through Thursday. Day campers help with barn chores, learn about riding history and horsemanship, and each rider gets one private lesson daily.
Riders will begin by focusing on balance exercises, once the balance is perfect we'll explore the aids. There is a demonstration from one to end of day on the final day to include parents in what we've learned.
We introduce several disciplines so that the rider gets a little taste of lots of different ways to ride, and an underlying sense of what is consistent and what supports the horse-human connection best. Each rider will take home a booklet that covers what we're learning and includes quizzes that he or she will complete in camp or at home.
All children participating in summer camp receive 10% off their first lesson package after the camp is done.
