Children will learn how to safely lead, groom, saddle, bridle,
and untack a horse. They will receive a daily group horseback riding
lesson. We also do a fun craft project every day. Kids will learn basic
horse and stable care (examples; how to clean tack, feeding,
cleaning stalls ect.) Campers will partake in mounted horseback
riding games ( egg and spoon race, barrel pattern, ect.) and an
obstacle course. Children should pack a lunch, we have a
refrigerator available to keep drinks cold. A show will be held for
parents on the final day of camp so the campers can show off what
they've learned over the week.
