YOUTH CAMPS

HANDS ON HORSES

The camps were developed in 2003, as interactive day camps (9-5) for kids to get up close and personal with horses. The Youth Camps offer hands-on and classroom experiences. The children learn about the safety around horses, basic grooming skills, how to clean a stall, parts of a horse, feeding and nutrition, history of the horse, harnessing a Standardbred, jogging a Standardbred and much more.
