Trail Camp

Trail Camps are three day camps behinning with an introduction and evaluation with lesson in the ring to determine riders skill level.

The group learns safety and first aid, along with many trail secrets and techniques.

NEXT: Hit the trails! Riding on never ending miles of trail. Ride through wooded forests and open fields, creeks, lakes, meadows.

There are trails to fit all needs. Slow, relaxing rides along with fast paced, competitive rides.

The first day of camp includes a lesson in the ring so horse and rider can get to know each other, then the rest of the day is spent on the trails. The second day is a long day on home trails. The final day of camp, we haul the horses to a local park or hunter pace to explore new grounds and obsticals.
