LEVELS
LEVEL 1
Beginners with little or no riding experience will learn the basics of horsemanship, horse handling, grooming, tacking up, groundwork, and riding on the walk and trot.
LEVEL 2
This camp is our most popular and covers the widest range of riding abilities. Intended for beginner riders with some experience and confidence, it is suited to evolving abilities. Students generally take Level 2 multiple times, and the instructions are suited to their evolving abilities. Campers will focus on enhancing their horsemanship knowledge, groundwork, horse connection, and riding skills.
