DERS Summer Horseback Riding Camp program is located close to Denver in Littleton, Colorado. Horse lovers ages 5-16yrs are divided into sessions according to age and ability. Some sessions available for beginners, and others designed for intermediate and advanced riders. Camp is run by certified CHA professionals, and riders spend the day with patient instructors and peers learning about horses and their care.
Every camper spends the day with horses, including a structured lesson in the saddle. We follow the Certified Horsemanship Association manuals of horsemanship. Just a few of the topics covered include: Equitation, Safety and Horse Care, Anatomy, Breeds - History, Color, Tack - Types, Parts, Cleaning, Horses - Grooming, Bathing, Clipping, Feeding, Cleaning, Injuries and Treatments, and Horse Show Preparation.
Campers should wear long pants for riding, a shirt with short or long sleeves, a certified horseback riding helmet, and hard-soled shoes or boots with a small heel. Bring a hearty, healthy lunch. Our camps include afternoon swimming at the neighboring Normandy Pool, so don't forget a swimsuit and towel!
