Camp is designed to teach childr

Camp is designed to teach children what it would be like to have a horse of their own. Children learn what horses eat, how to identify health issues with horse, hoof care, care of tack and equipment.

All children are expected to participate in barn chores. Including cleaning stalls, feeding the horses and cleaning tack.

Teaching aids include videos on safety, workbooks, demonstrations as well as hands on practice.

This is the perfect opportunity for that "horsecrazy" child to find out what it is all about.

All campers have the opportunity to ride twice per day. In the morning under instruction and in the afternoon for a fun ride under supervision. Afternoon rides may consist of games, free-time ride or an additional lesson.

The Pony Paddock at Cedar Lane offers a day camp for holidays, spring break and summer.

Summer camp is offered in 8 weekly sessions. The first session begins June 9th 2008. And will continue through July. Half day camp will be offered in August.
