Natural Horsemanship Camps
Day camps for beginning and advanced students
We've Been Nominated!
Let
your child experience the wonderful
spirit of the horse and make a hundred lifetime memories at one of our natural
horsemanship
camps.
Our
day camps are not just about riding. They are
comprehensive programs that
teach the responsibilities of horse ownership, how to be safe around horses
and how to build a partnership with the horse through leadership; not fear and
intimidation.
Your child will also learn how horses communicate with each other and how they can use that “language” to “speak to” and understand the horse.
It all starts with playing
seven
games and progresses to riding with a centered seat and proper balance.
Your child will also express their love of the horse through innovative art
projects.

In 2010 we have four camps to choose:
"Horse Crazy" Camp

This is a half-day camp where youngsters can learn basic safety, care and handling of horses and experience riding in-hand. They also will express their love of the horse through fun art projects. This camp prepares them for the more all-day Beginning Camp.
