Your children will learn:

Monday & Tuesday

We will cover the following topics over the first 2 days:

• Different Riding Styles (Western, English, Driving)
• Livestock Health & Happiness (feeding, grooming, bathing, lunging and basic medical treatment of horses & cattle)
• Livestock Behavior (reading body language & what it means, horses & cattle in the herd, prey animal responses)
• Training Techniques (working cattle, roping, driving the mini-horse cart, fixing unwanted behavior, riding bareback, ground work, and for the more intermediate & advanced riders- working with young horses)

We focus on actual riding, so kids will be riding every morning for an extended amount of time.

Wednesday

Pack a lunch because your child will be with us all day with dinner, a movie, and a sleepover in the bunkhouse. So bring a sleeping bag and don’t forget to pack shorts and a bathing suit.

Thursday 

The only day parents, family, and friends are invited to camp. Please arrive at 8:30 am to watch your children participate in a gymkhana so they can show off some of their new skills. Afterwards we will BBQ, so bring a side dish or dessert.
