Summer Horseback Riding Day Camp (10 miles SW of Gainesvilleb)
Let’s give your horse-crazy child an amazing week long summer day camp at Canopy Oak Trails. We’re limiting to a maximum of 8 campers/week. We assign horses, saddles, helmets and bridles to each camper for the week.
Beginner to intermediate riding lessons (English, Western, bareback) in the safety of the round pen & smaller arena. Weeks for more advanced riders can be arranged, if sufficient interest.
Grooming, groundwork, mounting/dismounting, good body position & turning with legs, hips & reins, halt & back up
Close supervision in an enclosed area before riding in larger areas
Shady, wooded trail for practicing manuvers & obstacle challenges
Campers average 4 hours a day with their horse, riding twice each day.
High councellor to camper ratio (typically no less than 1 volunteer per 2 campers)
Inroduction to trail riding, jumping, barrel racing, pole bending, relays & equestrian games
An opportunity to learn about what it takes to own a horse
Unmounted learning: Horse safety, breeds & colors, anatomy, hoof care, nutrition, tack (saddles & other equipment)
On Friday, family is invited to attend the "horse show." Campers will present a mounted relay, a horse obstacle course & other demonstrations of the skills that they've learned.
We'll provide horses, helmets, tack, craft supplies, water & snacks. You'll provide bag lunches & your child, eager to learn everything about horses. Let us help make this summer the best ever.
