Ten Great Things About Horse Camp

Riding camp is a wonderful place to meet other horse-crazy kids. You`re sure to make some horsey friends there. Make sure you exchange email addresses so you can keep in touch after camp is over!
Most camps offer horse management classes, so you can learn how to look after a horse properly. Knowing horse management skills will prepare you for owning your own horse in the future.
You may get to try a variety of horsey activities at camp that you`ve never done before. Try your hand at vaulting, driving, lunging, cross-country jumping or barrel racing.
If you`re a responsible person and a good rider, when you become a teenager the camp may hire you as a junior counsellor.
Many camps offer trail riding, which is especially cool if you`re usually stuck riding around a ring at your stable back home.

Bunking in a cabin with lots of other horsey people is tons of fun. You can talk about horses for hours and hours and no one will tell you to be quiet!
Even if you haven`t ridden very much, you`ll still have fun. Most camps place people in classes with people who ride at their same level. So, if you`re just starting out, you won`t be in the same class with someone who`s jumping three feet.
You`ll get to take lessons from someone other than your regular instructor. It`s always interesting to be taught by someone new - and you just might learn something new!
Depending on the camp, you may get to try non-horsish activities like swimming, sailing, tennis and archery. Some camps offer classes in singing, drama and dancing.
You may get to look after one horse as if he were your own. You`ll develop a bond with the horse, and really get to know him inside and out.
