New for summer 2020!
For advanced riders, we are offering a horse show experience during Week 2, June 8 - 13 and Week 9, July 27 - August 1.
This week of camp offers advanced riders jumping in canter the opportunity to participate in a local VHSA associate show. This is a great opportunity to start competing or to move up a level at horse shows. The price for this week includes a discount for horse show fees such as horse use, training and transportation. Entry fees, stall fees and other fees owed to the show are not included in the camp price. Formal show attire is required and we can assist with that! On Friday, in addition to the parent presentation, the participants will clean tack, wash the pony or horse that they are riding and other activities to prepare for Saturday. Saturday's time schedule will be determined closer to the date as it depends on the classes that the camper will be participating in and the size of the show. If you have any questions, please send us an email or give us a call! The fee for the advanced horse show camp is $625 and no discount may be used for this week. Only a limited number may sign up for the horse show so please sign up soon!
