Horse Camps in Texas

Horsemanship Day Camps offer quality horse riding and horse care instruction to riders. We work with riders of all different riding skills from those who have never touched a horse before to those who are headed to the show ring or a career with horses. Each day, campers will enjoy quality arena lessons, horse care classes, trail rides, Bible studies, crafts, sports and praise and worship times. Spiritual principles and themes are integrated throughout the day in all camper activities. Skilled riding instructors and caring counselors guide campers through a day filled with fun adventures with horses. Our desire is for youth to grow in character and life-skills during their stay at the Flying G Ranch. The goals are high here at the Flying G Ranch but we know that through God’s guidance and everyone’s diligence we can achieve miracles! Summer, School Holiday and Saturday Camps offered.
