experience how to groom and tack a horse, as well as learn basic riding techniques of controlling and steering a horse at a walk. Riding will occur in the arena and on the trail. Campers will spend their mornings at the barn and then participate in
afternoon and evening camp activities with their cabinmates. A horse show on closing day will allow riders to show their new skills to friends and family.
