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.

Students/Campers need to bring the following items:

• SEI approved helmet with an attached harness. There are helmets available for use at Pony Paddock. However it is preferable for each rider to bring their own.
• Heeled shoes, such as cowboy boots, or paddock boots.
• Bag lunch with extra drinks.
• Sun Screen, bug spray and a hat with a brim.
• shorts and tennis shoes for non-riding times.
