Physical activity with horses and horseback riding has been proven to lower stress levels, improve concentration, focus, learning, memory, problem solving skills and build confidence.
Participants have daily, hands-on lessons and independent study time with the horses and ponies.
SUMMER FRIENDSHIPS
We welcome children of all school ages to our BEST SUMMER HORSE CAMP. We have found that the peer-to-peer mentorship that occurs from mixed age groups benefits everyone. Children who are on the cusp of school age are considered for registration on a case-by-case basis and as space and staffing allows. Our Summer Horse Program sells out VERY quickly.
