CAMP FACILITIES: We have a 50' round pen to start off beginners, a medium and a large enclosed arena with barrels and jumps for more advanced riding. In the large stableyard, we have lot's of cross ties so that all horses are crosstied to be groomed and tacked. There are several mounting blocks/steps to make it easier to get on the horses.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: We usually have pre-vet and animal science students from UF and provide training for volunteers. We like to maintain a high counsellor-to-camper ratio.
Our instructor is the program director and the farm owner/manager is support staff and volunteer coordinator.
FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): On Friday, family is invited to a "horse show," in which campers show friends and family the skills they've learned. It will include a mounted relay race, an obstacle/agility challenge and perhaps surprise presentations.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: We offer riding lessons throughout the year and (for more advanced riders) a partial lease program in which the rider pays by the month for a certain number of rides per week (arena or trail).
CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
$300/week ($275, if multiple campers or sessions).
SUMMER CAMP JOBS:
We're seeking volunteers for our summer horse camp. No experience necessary. Those who volunteer at least 8 hours can ride for free the 2 weeks before and the 2 weeks after camp. (Some riding opportunities during camp.)
