Want to kick start your show season? Interested in spending a weekend with your horse and making new friends? Want to get started in a new event or get even better in your favorite class? Come to horse show camp!

DETAILS
• Youth ages 9-18.
• Youth must be able to tack their horse up with little to no assistance.
• Cost - $275, includes one stall, two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, supplies for activities, more than 10 hours of riding instruction, and workshops.
• Additional stalls $10 each.


Events to be covered: Showmanship, Hunter Under Saddle, Hunt Seat Equitation, Hunter Hack, Western Pleasure, Western Horsemanship, Trail, and Reining.

When you’re not on horseback, you’ll be learning more about what judges look for in each class, grooming and presentation, horse show procedure and etiquette, and more. On Sunday afternoon, participants will use what they learned in a campers-only horse show.

Plus, every night there will be games, activities, prizes and great food. Students will stay the night in sleeping bags in the clubhouse with supervision from adult chaperons.
