Clip Clop Drop-In Riding Camps are filled with fun and interesting horse-related activities. Clip Clop Riders are introduced to all things horses through crafts, interactive games and of course, riding lessons. Our excellent Camp Leaders teach campers about safety around horses and the stables; bonding with horse, the parts of the horse, grooming, tacking and basic horsemanship in both English and Western styles of riding (no previous experience required).

​

Horse time at camp is divided into two parts:

Horse Play – Riders learn horsemanship skills through theory and hands-on;  anatomy, nutrition, feeding, caring for horses, by engaging in fun activities and games.

Riding – Riders will prepare horses to ride, and ride, once per day, for approximately 2 hours. Riders will learn how to lead, brush and tack up their horses for the lesson. 

Learning Assistants

In addition to the Camp Leader, Learning Assistants are present to help all Clip Cloppers.

Clip Clop Drop-In Non Riding Camps are filled with everything the horse lover dreams to learn about horses.

This program is unique in that it teaches valuable horsemanship skills while it fosters self-empowerment through bonding with horses on the ground, thereby, removing the anxiety some horse lovers experience while riding. It's wonderful for kids and teens. 

​

This hands-on-horses option teaches horse lovers how to be secure in their leadership with the horse resulting in increased self- esteem and confidence that is applied in all areas of life.

​

Our excellent Camp Leaders teach Clip Clop horsemanship through crafts, interactive games, and touching and handling horses, ponies, and miniature horses.

 

Horse time at camp is divided into two parts:

Horse Play –Clip Cloppers learn through theory and hands-on about anatomy, nutrition, feeding, caring, and management of horses through fun activities and games.

Handling Horses – Clip Cloppers will safely and with help, handle horses once per day, for approximately 2 hours, and will learn how to halter, brush, guide and create a leadership position with the horse through various horsemanship skills.
