Just wanted to update everyone on our three camp dates for 2011.
July 11-16: Show Camp
This camp is designed for the horse show enthusiast. During camp we will attend two shows. Campers will learn the art of show grooming, including clipping, selecting proper show tack and tack maintenance. Daily riding sessions will focus on technique, accuracy and dedication. Developing your "eye" for spotting proper jump distances will be a main goal. Coaching and transportation to and from each show is included in the camp fee. Show fees are extra and will be remitted to each show attended. We will also go on a field trip with a neighboring camp. You will love this. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. The hours for this camp is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on home days, and horse show days will end when we return from show and care for the horses.
