DAY CAMPS
Redefining equestrian: INTRODUCTORY DAY CAMPS
Upcoming Dates:
Check back in for our 2024 Redefining Equestrian Camp Dates!
Our one-day Redefining Equestrian Intro camps provide a low-barrier point of entry for students of color who are curious about horses. Camps are 4 hours and include a broad introduction to horses. We focus on self-observation and learn about horse behavior as a foundation for safe handling. We learn safe handling and grooming techniques, some basic parts of the horse, and the basics about our equipment and how to use it. We watch horses in motion and discuss use of the body language as the horse’s language. Ultimately those students who are interested ride with ground support.

Our program is unique in the equestrian community, as we focus on evidence-based research to direct our methodology. From the lifestyle, our horses live to our hoof care, dentistry, and nutrition, all of our practices are informed by cutting-edge research from industry leaders. We teach a dressage foundation as a base for all equestrian sports, emphasize the importance of cross-training for wellbeing and have the background to support riders with hunter/jumper and eventing aspirations as well.

1 Hour Semi-Private Lesson: $50
We offer scholarships to any family who is eligible for their school’s free and reduced lunch program. There is a question on our registration forms asking if families qualify for this program and if they would like to be considered for a scholarship. Families who qualify are offered a 50% discount. If this does not allow a family to participate, we can discount further.
