JR. HORSEMAN'S CAMP
ages 11-18
Our most hands-on, horse-immersive, leadership-building camp ever.
This is the camp for older (pre-teen & teens) riders who want more horse time, more responsibility,
and more real-world horsemanship.
Riders spend the week living the life of a horse owner and rookie coach:
-
Catching, grooming, tacking, and riding
-
Assisting younger riders
-
Caring for the herd and barn routines
-
Visiting real horse-industry locations (field trips)
Full Day Option Only
7:00AM – 5:00PM*
Drop-off and pick-up times vary by camp group. Families will receive exact times prior to the camp start date.
