Natural Horsemanship Camps
Four different camps to meet each level of experience.
Let your child experience the wonderful spirit of the horse and make a hundred lifetime memories at one of our natural horsemanship camps.
Our
day camps are not just about riding. They are
comprehensive programs that
teach the responsibilities of horse ownership, how to be safe around horses
and how to build a partnership with the horse through leadership; not fear and
intimidation.
Your child will also learn how horses communicate with each other and how they can use that “language” to “speak to” and understand the horse.
It all starts with playing
seven
games and progresses to riding with a centered seat and proper balance.
Your child will also express their love of the horse through innovative art
projects by our good friend Holly Moffat of
Spill the Paint art studio.
In 2008 we have four camps to choose from:
Horse Crazy Camp
June 23 - 27, 2008
10 a.m.-12 p.m.
Age 4- 6
A special two-hour morning camp designed for little tikes who are "horse crazy." Students will spend time learning about the horse, riding in-hand with a NWNHC staff member and expressing themselves through art. Tuition: $250
Beginning Horsemanship
July 21 - 25, 2008
9 a.m. – 3 p.m. (6 p.m. Fri.)
Age 7-13
Designed for the beginning rider or students who have never been introduced to natural horsemanship. Students learn seven games that are the foundation for keeping themselves safe around horses and the basic horsemanship skills that they will use for a lifetime. They also learn the responsibilities of horse ownership and the basics of proper riding technique. Tuition: $500
Advanced Camp
August 4 -8, 2008
9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Age 8-14
Students who have taken the Beginning course or are experienced riders practicing natural horsemanship can spend a week getting out of the arena and on to the trails. This course takes their riding and horsemanship skills to the next level and gives them an opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of recreational riding. They get their own horse to care for and ride during the week. It all culminates on Friday with a day trip to one of our local riding trails. Tuition: $600
Wranglers Camp
August 18 - 22, 2008
9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Age 10 - 15
Students who have taken the Advanced course, are well experienced in natural horsemanship and/or passed their Level 1 in Parelli Natural Horsemanship will spend the week refining their trail riding skills and "upping the ante" on trail difficulty. There will be more obstacles and challenges to face, more changes in terrain and longer rides. Each student gets their own horse to care for and ride during the week. Tuition: $600
