How to prepare and safety

With over 20 years of experience we strive to provide the safest environment possible.  We use trusted steady horses that are used to being around beginners.  Camps are divided into: 

Beginner - New to horses and only ridden a couple times walk and trot only

Intermediate - been around horses, but would like to learn more.  Comfortable at a walk trot and lope. 

All riders will wear helmets (provided if needed), close toed shoes or boots, long pants (preferably jeans), and will respect directions from instructor.
