2023 Summer Camp Dates

we have camps scheduled every week during the summer.

These camps were started with rescue horses in mind. If we can teach children to be better horse owners, we would help decrease future rescues. Over these past summers we have had much success with the camps. I genuinely feel honored to have touched these children's lives in a positive way and shared my world with them. All of our camps have been huge hits with the children and they have each walked out with a mountain of knowledge. I have been genuinely blessed by the chance to create better horsemen & women of tomorrow. We have had some campers realize owning a horse was far more work then they were ready for. We have also had campers who saw the work and jumped head first, no holds barred, and love every challenge and joy horses bring. To all of my campers, I want to say thank you from my heart for the smiles you have brought me. I deeply thank you for making it feel like what we do makes a difference.
