Horse Camps in Farmville, Virginia (Prince Edward County)

Sprouse's Corner Ranch camps focus on horse management, riding skills, and safety around horses. The campers will begin their day with feeding, brushing, saddling and riding lessons. They will then have the opportunity to bathe and care for their camp horse (our horse or yours!). After a snack and some fun in the water, campers will learn a variety of horse management skills including first aid, health care, hoof care, feeding, illness management and prevention. After lunch, the horses will be prepared for another riding lesson. In the Horsemanship I, II and Advanced camps, the day will be finished up with demonstrations, educational games, and riding skills practice. Cost of the camp includes snacks and a t-shirt. Each camp is from Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm. Parents with working schedules may arrange for early or late pickup.... See More

Heldergate Stables is offering our day camp for two different session options in July 2014!

Session 1: July 14-19
Session 2: July 21-25

(Can't make it those weeks? Sign up for regular riding lessons this summer instead! Call, e-mail, or visit heldergatestablesDOTcom for more information.)

Camp is from 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday, with a horse show and family picnic on Saturday! Early drop-off and late pick-up are available.

-For our younger or beginning participants, camp offers a fun, active alternative to ordinary childcare, and includes early drop-off and late-pick-up when needed. Besides foundation horseback riding skills, we also teach horsemanship and theory, basic nutrition and barn care, and a sense of initiative and cooperation. Students will bond with "their" horses throughout the week as they learn to ride and care for them, and demonstrate their skills in the horse show on Saturday.

They will also participate in games, arts and crafts, group sports and other activities.

-For our older or more advanced riders, camp offers a chance to have two lessons a day, sort out specific issues with your horse, work toward individual riding or competition goals, and have some fun all day while doing it! *Potential for off-farm schooling or day-trip, depending on rider enrollment.*

Owning a horse is not necessary; board for the week is available if you do!

$350 per week or $70 per single day... See More

Our goal at Stone Bridge Farm is to offer our riders the best riding instruction, facilities and horses available in southwest Virginia -- and to do so in an environment that is fun, welcoming, and safe! In the last year, our high school and middle school riding teams have been among the most successful in the Mid-Atlantic states, and many of our show riders have earned local, state and national recognition.

Whether your child is just starting out as a rider, or wants to set and work towards competitive goals, we hope that he or she will join us for one or more weeks of riding, learning and fun this summer! Our day camp programs, for riders age 7 to 17, are growing and getting better every year -- some developments this year include:

* Camp programs will be run by Ariadne Paxton, who is both an elementary school teacher and a long-time horsewoman and instructor with a degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech.
* Full Day and Half Day Sessions are available, as well as an Extended Day option, to accommodate your family's schedule.
* To insure that all riders get the most out of their camp experience, sessions are limited to 15 riders per week, and are grouped by riding level. Campers can sign up for Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced sessions. Please contact the Farm to find out which groups would be most suitable for your child.
* Campers can bring their own horse or use one of ours.
* Two weeks of IEA Team Training Sessions will be offered in July and August.
* Each full camp day includes a morning lesson and an afternoon lesson or "fun ride" -- mounted games, obstacle courses or trail ride -- as well as horsemanship activities.
* New this year -- Horse Show Option on most weekends! Please see our web site for more information on this.... See More
