.......... 
Imagine having your very own horse to spend time with. A best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is allocated and responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides extensive riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse, and the tack, as well as learning to ride. Every horse has their own saddle, bridle and brushes. Days are filled with horse related activities..
...........
Mornings begin with taking care of the horses. Daily horse chores such as the morning feeding and bringing in their own horses increases the bond between each girl and horse, as they learn to work safely around them. It will provide memories to last a lifetime. Each day will include a morning lesson in one of our fenced riding arenas (during hot weather they will ride earlier, when it is cooler out). This will develop their balance, coordination and self-confidence. The afternoon lesson will be fun riding - games on horseback, instructional videos or practical learning (braiding, bathing, etc.). Our hands on horsemanship program will help to improve their skills and confidence on and around horses.
..........
Campers will also have the opportunity to go for at least one trail ride, during the week. We will take the girls to the local convenience store once during their stay so that they can purchase "tuck" (candy etc.). We also allow for an evening swim during a heat wave period.
