Beginner / Intermediate Rider Camps

Our beginner rider camps focus on teaching your child everything that is involved in horseback riding and horse care. They will learn how to properly and safely lead, groom and tack a horse under the close supervision of one of our camp counselors. Once they have accomplished these tasks, they will be taught how to mount a horse and ride at the walk and trot. At the beginner rider level, our camps focus on teaching sound riding fundamentals while emphasizing rider safety. It is our belief that mastering the fundamentals of riding will help build rider confidence, thus allowing the rider to advance their skills at a faster pace. Intermediate level riders will be instructed at the walk, trot, canter and over fences. They will be challenged so as to improve their riding. We also utilize riding games which, while being fun for your children, also teach them how to control their horse, and improve their balance and confidence in the saddle.
Advanced Rider Camps
These camps are for English riders with riding experience and jumping experience - or your riding experience can be western and you want to try something new! Campers should already know how to canter and should be comfortable jumping 2ft at a canter in an arena.  We will be studying two separate disciplines - Jumping and Dressage.  These clinics are targeted for the competitive rider who wishes to show or the serious rider who desires to refine their riding techniques to show level.   These  will be a very intensive, information packed sessions of fun and challenge.
