Description
It’s your chance to get in the paddock for a fun and interactive one-day horse camp! Participants will be hands-on in all aspects of daily care, management and training of our ponies: learning to properly catch, groom and handle them (no riding). Using our powerful teachers Sammy, Maple and Flapjack, participants will develop confidence, self-awareness about their behaviour, and alternative skills to help them overcome challenges and cope with the social pressures they face today…..but trust me parents, your kiddos will just think they’re playing with horses 😉 This program is offered from 10am-3pm on Saturday July 29th and Saturday August 12th. Cost is $65/child. Please select your preferred date from the drop-down menu. If it doesn’t appear, it’s sold out.
