Spring Break Horse Camp
This introductory horse camp includes hands-on activities with the horses while learning the basics of horse behavior, anatomy, and care. It will foster strong relationships between camper and horse, and give campers the skills needed to create these relationships in the future. After this camp, participants will have a general understanding of how we care for and bond with horses. Riding will occur daily, weather permitting. No prior riding experience required.
Campers will leave with confidence, new friendships, and an unforgettable week of equestrian adventure.
