We’ve rounded up all the skills you need to know to be an excellent rider and horseperson and put them into this two-week camp. Choose from two camps for ages 5-12 and one teen camp. Both new and returning campers will have a chance to learn new things and improve their riding. Campers ride the same horse each day and learn what kind of care their horses need on a daily basis. Participants take part in hands-on experiential activities that help them have fun and gain confidence while working with horses and being part of a group. We will observe horse behavior, discuss colors and breeds and learn the names of the equipment we use to ride. Activities may also include painting horses, bathing, braiding manes and tails, and roping. Arts and Crafts will include leather journal making, storytelling with puppets, music making and work with clay.
Focuses on the therapeutic value of horseback riding for children with sensory integration and attention issues. In addition to taking part in specialized activities to get more in tune with their bodies, participants will also gain riding and horse care skills. Riding, grooming, feeding and other farm “chores” are all fun, rewarding activities that stimulate the mind and the senses in positive ways.
