There are now two levels of horseback riding camps. Please choose the camp that is best suited to you/your camper to ensure their best experience. The lessons that are planned for the girls are based on the median riding ability of the total girls in the program. ======== Level 1: Beginner These camps are for girls who have ridden less than 20 times by themselves. This includes in the arena, on the trail, taking lessons, etc. Girls will learn the basics from the ground up and spend time in the saddle getting comfortable with the horses. These camps are primarily offered at Barker as this property is better suited to beginner riders. ======== Level 2: Experienced These camps are for girls who have ridden more than 20 times by themselves. Most likely they have taken or are taking lessons and are ready to try something new. Review the basics, practice in the arena, hit the trails, and maybe even take a horse overnight. Girls will spend barn time learning more about stable maintenance (feed, jobs, horse health, etc) in addition to riding. These camps are primarily offered at Rancho as this property is better suited to experienced riders. ======== Pony Pals Grades 1 - 3 ======== Giddy Up Grades 3 - 5 ======== Take the Reins Grades 5 - 7 ======== Trailblazers Grades 7 - 9 ======== Horsewomen Grades 9 - 12
