Once again it is the time of year to start making plans for Youth Horsemanship Camp!
This program is designed for kids age 10 - 16, kids will be involved in hands on experiences with their horse. The program starts on Sunday evening and is concluded on Thursday evening, with a horse show, complete with trophies and ribbons. They will be responsible for there own horse and equipment. They learn horse husbandry skills and equipment care. Every morning they will help catch and saddle their own horse.
