Summer Camps
We’re excited to offer three camp options—3-day, 4-day, and 5-day sessions—designed for beginner-level riders. No prior riding experience is required, making this camp ideal for kids ages 5 to 12 who want to learn about horses in a fun and supportive environment.
NEW for 2025: Due to high demand, all camps are now full-day sessions! Each day is packed with engaging activities, including riding lessons, equine education, arts and crafts, and fun games. It’s the perfect opportunity for young horse lovers to learn, play, and make lasting memories.

Riding: With guided instruction, campers will learn to steer, control, and ride a horse independently. They will practice their skills in both our indoor and outdoor arenas, focusing on the basics of English riding. We’ll even incorporate fun games on horseback! Additionally, campers will explore our 60+ acres of wooded and grass trails on guided rides. No experience is necessary-this camp is designed for beginners!

Equine Education: Campers will learn the essentials of equine care, from grooming and bathing horses to wrapping legs and basic vet care. They’ll also observe our farrier at work and explore topics like nutrition, anatomy, and horse colors/breeds. These sessions focus on building basic skills and fostering a strong bond between horse and rider.
End of the Day: At the close of each session, campers will assist with untacking, grooming, and bathing the horses before they head home for the day.
