Summer Camp
Riding Levels:
Beginners: For kids who are new to riding and horse care. They will learn to groom their horse, tack up,
and to ride at the walk and jog/trot. They will learn to walk on the trail. They will also learn to bathe their
horse, the parts of the horse, colors, markings, and about English and western tack and how it's used
and maintained. They will also learn about the basic needs of their horse including feed, foot care, and
vet care.
Advanced Beginners: For kids who have done some riding. They will continue to learn care of the horse
and to ride at the walk, trot, and some cantering or loping. They will trot on the trail. They will learn all
the things taught in the beginner’s class as well ways to ride and be with horses without owning a horse.
Low Intermediate: For kids ready to canter and lope. The students will be working on trotting pole
courses, small jumps, and trail obstacles and good control at the lope or canter. They will also continue
to build on their horse knowledge by learning about the conformation of the horse. They learn that some
horses have limitations, but can have a happy life if we respect that. They will also learn about types of
shoes and why some horses need different shoes or others don't need any. The students will also learn
about basic first aid and how to use polo wraps on a horse and much more.
Intermediate (+): For kids who want to canter a jump or course. We will be working on good balance and
control over jumps and around obstacles. The students will also learn about horse lameness and how to
select a horse that should be sound for the type of riding they would like to do. They will also learn about
how to keep a presentable for competition or strenuous riding. The students will also learn about horse
careers and hobbies that they might enjoy such as search and rescue, equine rehabilitation, training,
and others.
