I know some of you have been waiting a long time....So here is the information for camp. Please contact me or Meghan to sign up for any of the three camps we are offering!

Calling All Horselovers!

Horselover's Camp

Join in the fun for a week of horse camp this summer. Be responsible for the care of your very own horse and spend plenty of time in the saddle learning basic riding skills, jumping, and mounted games. Campers arrive in the morning to feed, groom, and clean up after their horse and to ride in lessons and on guided trail rides. Campers will have the authentic horse owner's experience and will get to ride bareback, both in and out of arenas, and will get to try several styles of riding during the week. Camp will conclude on Friday afternoon with a cookout and fun show at the barn where family and friends and come and see everything the campers have learned throughout the week. We will do crafts and equestrian-related fun activities every day! Every camper will go home with a Fairy Tale Farm t-shirt and lots of other surprises!

Horsetrainer's Camp

For the more serious beginner or advanced equestrian, we are offering horsetrainer's camp. This week long experience is designed to help dedicated horselovers learn to ride and train their horses using techniques from classical and natural horsemanship. Campers will each be assigned a 'project horse' for the week, and they will work to train their horse in a variety of ways. This camp will include at least one clinic and a field trip to one of the large, prestigious veterinary clinics in the area. In addition to training and riding, students will learn all aspects of horse health and management. The week will conclude with a cookout and presentation of the skills our campers and horses have learned throughout the week.
