Youth Day Camps
Our week long immersive experience is designed to introduce young horse lovers, age 7 to 10, to all five phases of horsemanship: knowledge, awareness, organization, consistency and creativity.
Each student will be assigned their “own” horse and older mentor for daily activities including horse care, horse handling and daily semi-private riding lessons. Our week will culminate in a horse show on Saturday to share what we have learned with friends and family!

Horsemanship IS Leadership!
Our three week immersive experience is designed to help young equestrians age 11 to 14 build leadership skills in all five phases of horsemanship: knowledge, awareness, organization, consistency and creativity.
Each student will be assigned their “own” horse for daily activities including stable management, groundwork training and riding lessons. Leadership skill building will culminate in week three when we are joined by our younger riders. Each student will act as a mentor helping a younger friend learn about horses and prepare for our end of camp horse show.
