Getting Tacked up for Summer Camp Trail Ride!! |
|
Summer Camp Series 2012 Dates will be Posted in the Spring! What
is it? Every Monday throughout the summer we are getting all the kids together (regardless of level) from 8am-Noon, to learn
more about horses they would not normally learn in their regular lesson program. Not only will they get to learn new things,
but they will get to meet almost all the other junior riders to socialize with and share their love of horses with their
like minded friends! Monday lecture topics will vary each week, and some of the lectures will feature guest
speakers from other equestrian professionals such as a veterinarian, a farrier, a equine massage therapist, a team building
professional, and possibly more! There will be little to no riding in this series, but we may do a game day and/or trail
ride here and there if time permits. Topics to be covered will include but are not limited to: Team building: Individual
and Team: Guest Show Grooming Horse Anatomy & Colors Bandaging Lunging Farrier Care: Guest
Farrier Basic First Aid: Veterinarian Riding Outside of the Ring & Trails Trailering Equine Massage Understand Horse Shows Tack Cleaning, Parts, & Bits, Equine Equipment Games and more! The
Kids will receive a binder at the beginning of the series, and with each lecture will build in the content of their own horsemanship
book. At the end of the series the kids will have a great reference resource! Cost to you is $100 for the whole
series for students currently enrolled in lessons. Current Clients may may split the expense into $50 in June & $50
in July. Cost to students not enrolled is $200 for the series. I understand there may be a week or two when familys
are on vacation, that is ok, they will miss their lecture, but still recieve their information packet for their binders!
There will be no make-ups for missed lectures. I will try to answer any questions kids have about missed lectures in their
lesson times. I hope you will join us, as I anticipate a lot of fun with everyone! This series will really
step up a lot of the juniors in their knowledge of horsemanship, all showing students are strongly encouraged to attend. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! Thanks! -Michelle
