Intermediate Camps
Intermediate Camps are structured differently. We expect campers to have grooming and horse handling skills. These campers are more serious about learning to improve their skills, and will learn more advanced riding, patterns, and transitions. Campers choose English or western. English riders will be jumping. Western riders will be doing trail courses. Intermediate campers also participate in a Horse Show on Friday.
Dressage Camp
Dressage Camp is focused on what it takes to be a dressage rider, including seat position, and tests. We accept up to 2nd level students. Campers will learn to improve the movements at their level. On Friday's Dressage Show, campers are scored, and learn about scoring and judge's comments.
