2024 Spring Break Kids Horse Camp March 11th-15th Ages 10-15

2024 Kids Summer Horse Camp Dates:

Level I camps are split into age groups for junior riders (ages 6-9, who are potty-trained) and youth riders (ages 10-16). They are suitable for new riders & students who are already riding, but not yet independently loping. Level I camps will cover catching, grooming, & saddling. Students will independently ride walk/trot (with some loping for those who are ready). Students will get on-property exposure to a range of riding disciplines, including trail/obstacles and intro to western show & gymkhana events. Fridays feature an in-house western show/gymkhana competition, along with free pizza for lunch!

Level II is for youth riders (ages 10-16) who are comfortable loping (not for new students). Level II camps will include hauling off-property to local trails, prepping for western shows (pleasure, reining, ranch riding), and practicing for gymkhana events. (Handy kids slightly above & below this age range will be happily considered.) Fridays feature an in-house western show/gymkhana competition, along with free pizza for lunch!
