EQUESTRIAN CENTER
SUMMER CAMP 2024
Heat. Horses. Happiness.
Horseback riding can be a very rewarding experience, and our camps have always aimed to display the best of horses through education in the saddle, on the ground, and around the stable. Our campers receive two daily mounted lessons/rides as well as unmounted lessons on horse care, handling and health.
Please note this year our farm will be offering THREE weeks of camp only. We are anticipating these camps to fill quickly.
Horse Show Fridays
Fridays are for the families! Each week campers welcome parents, friends and family for a hands on learning experience about horses, and a fun show to demonstrate their new found skills!
The Horsemen
July 1st-5th, 2024
9am - 4pm
The Horseman Camp is a wonderful experience for riders looking to increase skill, confidence, and make some lasting friendships on the way.
Our Horsemen camp is just that - a week to develop riders from people who love horses, into Horsemen with skill for problem solving, riding, health care, training, and animal husbandry. Crafting independent thinkers, leaders and compassionate equine caretakers is our goal at this camp!
To achieve this, our campers have historically had opportunity to experience clinicians throughout the week of camp on topics such as jumping, dressage, colt starting, trail riding, and more! Coupled with the experience of our staff and on-site coaches these campers often show mass progression from the week spent honing their skills in and out of the saddle at the Friday Family Horse Show.
To register for this camp, we ask riders to be riding independently at the walk, trot and canter and to have some form of jumping exposure or experience. Our riders in this camp range from Xrail to 3ft competitors.
This camp is eligible to campers 10yrs old and up.

Junior Riders is where it is at! The foundation of horse handling, horse care and riding is the focus of our Junior Riders. Campers vary from never riding a horse, to riding at the walk + trot independently. We've been known to have the occasional few begin to canter at camp even! Lessons are catered to campers skill set and confidence in the saddle.
Our staff and horses love these camp weeks, meeting new friends, seeing old friends and enjoying the horse for all the horse has to offer.
Family Friday Horse Show is always a hit with our Junior riders, as they eagerly demonstrate horse handling, horse care, and riding. Be sure to add it to your calendar!
