What do campers do when not riding? In addition to riding, campers learn how to care for their horse and their equipment. We feel learning horsemanship not only teaches students what is involved in caring for the animals, it also teaches them very important life skills. The details involved in caring for a horse helps children focus and gain responsibility. .jpg" width="200px" />

Some of our school horses are seasoned show horses who have retired from showing. Others are veteran lesson horses who have been teaching children to ride for many years. Our school horses range in size from small ponies to horses.
