2008 Summer Horsemanship Clinics & Camps

Horse Camp:

Students will be assigned a horse for the week (boarders may use their own horse). They will groom and tack up horse before group riding lesson, and be responsible for its care after they ride. After students ride they will have a number of different lessons. (Handling horses on the ground, lunging, ground driving, anatomy, driving, etc.) Our goal is to have fun with our current students/boarders and help them gain more horse knowledge every day. It’s a great opportunity for students to ride in a group and learn from each other as well.

Camps will be held from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm Monday through Friday.
