"This is Keira's fourth time at equestrian camp. She loves it! I am sad that next year she will be too old to be a camper. Paige, Amanda, Kate, Grace, and Emily are amazing!" ~ 2026 Parent Survey
Beginner Riders: From no experience to comfortable trotting on their own.
Intermediate Riders: Can groom and tack their horse on their own, can halter and tie their own mount, and do no stirrup work. Your child must be confident in all of these skills to be eligible to participate in the Intermediate level program.
