This camp is designed for children age 10 - 16. Kids will be involved in hands on experiences with their horse. The program starts on Sunday evening and is concluded on Thursday evening, with a horse show, complete with trophies and ribbons. They will be responsible for there own horse and equipment. They learn horse husbandry skills and equipment care. Every morning they will help catch and saddle their own horse.
You will arrive at the ranch on the first day of camp between 5:00 - 6:00 P.M. and an orientation period will immediately follow. We will once again have wagon rides, horse show and a dinner on Thursday night.
