Summer Camp

Having a solid foundation of knowledge on how to work safely around horses on the ground is just as important as knowing how to ride them. This is why Freedom Woods is excited to bring back our new full-immersion Horsemanship Camp program beginning in June, 2010.

Our program gives campers ages 8 and older a fun, safe, hands-on opportunity to learn and engage in all facets of horsemanship. Campers will receive top-notch hunter seat riding instruction and theory from staff. They will also experience daily barn management, horse health and nutrition, and learn about horse behavior and care. The goal for each week will be for our campers to become solid horsemen, utilizing proper barn and horse handling skills.

CAMP HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

• 8:30 A.M. drop off - 12:30 P.M. pick up *
• 5 campers to 1 staff ratio
• Ability-based grouping for riding time (evaluation and placement on first day)
• Fun, safe working environment while around the horses
• Games and hands-on activities in and around the barn
• Professional clinics conducted by veterinarians, farriers, dentists and nutritionists
• Behind the scenes experience of the daily workings of a stable
