Every morning, Horse Camp will be a fresh opportunity for the children to get to know more about our Bright Horses through bareback riding, grooming, leading and work in the round pen, enhancing their relationships with the animals. It is always true that campers learn something new about themselves and how to work as a team with all kinds of people and horses. Our ponies and horses have been teachers for young people throughout their lives and our counselors are specifically trained to facilitate interaction that is rewarding and fun.
