At Own-A-Horse-Camp you get to experience what it is like to own a pony or horse.  You will learn all aspects of horse care including feeding, grooming and stable management. And yes, you will have an opportunity to ride a horse every day!

Throughout the week, campers will learn and develop the Five C’s of Camp:

Comfort: Trusting the horse, themselves, and the staff.

Confidence: Having strong body language and voice with the horse.

Connection: Building relationships with the horses, other campers, and the staff. 

Capability: Creating a strong foundation of knowledge to use with any activity at camp. 

Challenge: Facing any frustration or new activity with bravery and positivity. 

Each day, camp staff teaches on a different theme and covers many topics around caring for, riding, and owning a horse!

We cover the following topics and more throughout the week:

• Safety on and around the horse
• Different breeds and colors
• Horse Psychology – what makes a horse tick?
• Horse Talk – how do horses communicate with each other and us?
• How much does a horse cost?
• Various riding disciplines (Western, English, Vaulting)
• Parts of the tack
• How to clean a stall and other stable chores

Other fun activities include barn games, horse crafts, giving a horse a bath, braiding your horse’s mane, equestrian vaulting, and more!

In addition to learning about horses, students will learn Responsibility, Team Work, Self-Confidence, and of course have a ton of FUN making new horse-crazy friends!
