TIPS TO HELP YOU BE READY WHEN PROGRAMS GO ON SALE

In advance of registration, ensure all child members, including those 6 and under, are set up on your ShopTD online profile as members.
- If you are unsure if your children are set up correctly in ShopTD, please contact Member Services in advance. If you need to make changes to your profile on registration day, it may result in not being able to purchase the program you desire.
- Note, you can view all individuals on your account by logging in to shop.tahoedonner.com and clicking “My Account.” If you added individuals to your ShopTD account yourself, then an additional step is required by contacting Member Services in order for them to be eligible for registration.
- If you have never logged into ShopTD and are having trouble creating an account, click here for more information or watch our short how-to video.

Riders ages 8-14 are invited to saddle up for a week of half-day riding camp (morning or afternoon sessions) at Tahoe Donner Equestrian Center. Each student will have their own horse for the week and will learn the fundamentals of horsemanship, safety and riding skills in preparation for a horse show each Friday.

If we experience summer thunderstorms and/or the AQI is over 151 and students are unable to ride, students will have lessons in horse and tack care, horseshoeing, veterinary care and other horsemanship knowledge.
