Welcome
to our Summer Camp program since 1990!
Heather Heberle and Rachel Sells
are Certified Riding Instructor and will lead the camp along with other
instructors. We are excited about our program and are confident the campers will
have a great time and a new learning experience.
Age and
agenda:
The camp is offered for children 5
years and up, for the first time riders to the intermediate. Campers will learn
all aspects of horse husbandry, including grooming, tacking, riding lessons each
day and feeding. A “horse” type craft will be worked on during the afternoon
along with other fun activities involved with
horses!
Routine:
The campers are split into 3
groups and rotate in the mornings from the different stations such as learning
tacking, parts of horse, health, feeding, grooming and of course riding. The
stations are new each day except the riding lesson. There is one on one help for
the riding ring (if needed) and about one to 4 at the other stations. We
maintain a high standard for safety and a close watchful eye on the campers,
also allowing for fun and freedom on the farm.
Afternoon:
The afternoon is for the projects,
usually includes a picture of them on the horse they are riding. Also games
and sometimes playing with the slip and slide or sprinkler on the hot days.
Some other activities are grazing the horses/ponies, bareback riding, tag,
quiet time if some like. All days are spent around the
barn.
Clothing:
Campers need to wear a boot type
shoe (covering the ankle) and long pants. A baseball cap is helpful in keeping
the helmet fitted on the students head and for cleanliness. Safety equipment is
provided and materials for craft.
Lunch:
Horseback riding is an exercise
and so is the work involved, so please bring a beverage and shorts to change
into if you choose so. If staying for a full day please bring your lunch, a
refrigerator is available. A T-shirt or other gift will be given to each
camper.
On Mondays the parents need to
stay till about 9:30 for orientation. We will discuss the week, proper pick up
and drop off procedures and a brief tour of the farm. Also answer any
questions. Parents are welcomed to watch the lesson on
Thursdays.
Please email Heather Heberle for availability or any other questions.

The staff, volunteers and horses do a wonderful job each year. Thank you for your patience and hard work. The campers are a pleasure and it is so satisfying to see how they progress in only a week.
