In addition to our regular riding program, we also offer other opportunities for campers who would like to ride more often or would like the chance to work one-on-one with an instructor.

Many of our campers choose to sign up for private or
semi-private lessons throughout their time at camp. These
lessons are a great opportunity to develop more advanced skills
and techniques or even just to tackle old equitation problems or
questions.
This is a special 3 hour evening program where riders get an extended lesson in x-country,
dressage, and show jumping that is videotaped. After the lesson the students get a chance watch their
riding in each area and the instructor can point out what the rider did well and what needs to be
improved. This can be a stand-alone program or as practice for the Show'n Learn Horse Trials.
The shows consist of three classes in each division with ribbons given
out for each class. The Show 'n Learn operates just like a regular
schooling show, with the major difference that the judge gives
instruction throughout the show. This is a great opportunity for
students with little show experience who would like to compete,
without the pressure of a traditional show.

Campers can choose to work on their stadium jumping,
dressage skills, or head out to the X-Country course.
Working one-on-one with an instructor is a great way to quickly
improve your riding skills.
Some campers take one
private lesson a session
while others take a few each
week. These lessons are in
addition to their regular riding
lessons and are offered for an
additional cost.
The 3-Phase Horse Trial consists of a Dressage Test , Cross-country and
Show Jumping phase. The Cross-country course consists of about 14
jumps on our cross country field and in the woods and we offer two different
levels. The dressage test is a beginner novice test and campers learn it
before show day. The show jumping phase is also offered in two different
levels.
