How to Choose Horseback Riding Summer Camps  

If you have a child who loves to ride horses then having them attend a summer camp can be a
great to spend part of their summer. Whether your child is a beginner or an experienced rider there is a horseback riding summer camp out there for them. For kids who are inexperienced but excited to learn, attending a horseback riding camp is a fantastic way for them to:

• Hang out with kids who love horses
• Learn horse-care and barn safety in a controlled environment
• Gain horseback riding skills and experiences
• Discover whether riding horses is something they want to do more of when they return home

For experienced riders who already take lessons at home and may even lease or own a horse, attending an equestrian summer camp gives them the opportunity to:

• Be where they want to be - in the barn around horses everyday
• Spend time with other campers who are passionate about riding horses
• Take small group or individual riding lessons everyday
• Be mentored by knowledgeable horseback riding instructors who are great role models
