Our camps are designed to offer your young rider(s) a chance to experience the art and love of horse riding and care first hand. Our camps are exclusively horse focused and designed to provide a large amount of saddle time so our beginning campers can learn their basics (walk/trot/canter and pole courses) or our more experienced riders can learn new, more advanced riding techniques with their flat work and jumping. Among many things, our campers will learn: · Horse and barn safety · How to tack, ride and care for their horse · Name the parts of the horse and tack · Become proficient in barn and tack care; · And, of course, ride! We have twice daily riding sessions, mounted games and plenty of hands-on learning time with the horses. Parents are also invited to join us on our last day for a mini “show” where the students will have a chance to show off what they have learned over the week. Owner/Trainer Joanna Jackowich has years of experience teaching and directing riding camps, as well as being a professional A circuit instructor and coach. Joanna personally heads up each camp to ensure a safe and fun learning atmosphere for all students.
