HORSE-POWERED HAPPINESS Holiday Camp!
Three days
Ages 5 and up!
We are bringing our 'Horse-Powered Happiness' program to our Holiday Camp!
HPH is an exciting, hands-on, horse program we've designed to build resiliency skills by introducing participants to tools they can use to cope during hard times and thrive in times of change.
Themes may include: confidence; mindfulness; vulnerability and connection; emotional regulation; coping skills; problem solving; and goal setting.
Each day will include fun, equine-assisted activities intertwined with games, crafts, and of course meeting and caring for some of the animals at the farm!
Camp runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day (with late pick up to 5 p.m. at no extra charge). Please send along lunches/snacks and dress for daily outdoor adventures.

Holiday DRILL TEAM

Our Drill Team sessions are back for THREE days with all new patterns!
An equestrian drill team is a group of horses and riders performing choreographed maneuvers to music. Drill teams are excellent way for riders to hone such skills as balance, coordination, stride and pace control, lateral aids, precision, attention to detail, spatial awareness and team work - and they are just plain fun!

Riders will enjoy a 90 MINUTE lesson each day (Day 3 includes practice before a final run through of the drill pattern - parents/friends are welcome to come watch!).
