The purpose of our camp is to introduce you to the world of horses or to further your knowledge of the care that goes into horse ownership.
And, of course, to HAVE FUN!
Parents are permitted and encouraged to observe and learn with their children.
This year, some of our advanced Pony Clubbers are adding more exciting activities to our already fun summer camp!
