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 snack and plenty of water, 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.
