Intermediate Riding Day Camp   

June 28-July 2

Challenges both in and out of the arena will make the rider work hard on improving their riding skills. While helping our riders to improve and expand, fun is still a high priority.

Two riding sessions, horsemanship projects, barns and stables management chores, are all part of our daily schedule. This is a true horse lover's dream. Not only working on their riding skills, but getting to share their love of horses with other horse lover's throughout the week.

This camp does require that a camper attended a previous Horse Lover's Camp, is currently taking riding lessons or can ride at the LEC Riding Skills Level of Advancing Beginning. Campers with more riding skills will be grouped together to make sure that everyone is working at a comfortable yet challenging pace.  

Mommy & Me (3-6yrs)

July 5-9

(Camp runs 9am-11am and the cost is $175)

We want to welcome everyone to come spend the morning with us out at the Stable. This day camp was developed to allow a parent and child to experience horses and riding. Each chilid is to have a parent relative or adult friend to attend the camp with them each day. Our experienced staff will work with both the child and the adult. Our wonderful, patient instructors will teach the adults to lead the ponies and assist the child during his/her lessons. Lessons are geared towards our smallest riders, teaching them basic position and control of thier horse through a series of fun and entertaining skills.

Each day will consist of a riding lesson for each child, a 'horsey-themed' craft and a daily horse project (ex. pony painting, making horse treats)

Fun is our theme for the week!! So come out and join us for a very memorable experience for both you and your child!
