Campers will learn basic, essential horse safety, how to use brushes (curry comb, hard brush, soft brush), where and how horses like to be touched (and where to avoid!), what horses eat, how they stay healthy, and how we keep their living spaces clean and cozy

Every camp day includes a fun, safe introductory riding session tailored to each child's comfort and ability level. We take a gentle and encouraging approach that build confidence from the very first ride. Riding lessons include mounting and dismounting with guidance, learning how to sit balanced in the saddle, holding the reins and using light cues to guide the horse, walking on a lead-line with instructor support, practicing posture, breathing, and rhythm while riding

Amidst the excitement of camp, we also create space for stillness and reflection. Horses naturally invite us to be calm, present, and grounded - and we help children tune into that peaceful energy. Mindful moments include breathing exercises, nature (farm) walks, drawing, journaling, and storytelling about their favorite horse, and a gratitude circle to close the day.
