Summer Camp For Kids

5/23/2016

Even though it seems directed at kids, I perused the description in hopes that the advanced course would allow 45-year old women to participate. Why is it that there are no camps for adults? I would go in a heart beat.

I am sharing this camp because it is fairly local, and the facility is simply gorgeous. The schooling show that Izzy and I did last month was held here. Even though it was only a schooling show, Marily ran it as professionally as any USDF show can be run, maybe even better. I am certain that her camp will be run just as well. I know the image is hard to read, but here's the gist of it.

Greetings from Sequoia Hills Stables ~

We've been asked by very patient parents and grandparents when we are going to send out our Summer Riding Camp information - and I'm pleased to say - it's here!! The attached Announcement has the dates and details of the 3 camps. Also included is the Application form.

We are going to start the camps earlier this year to try and beat the heat, and we're changing the format a little to give everyone more riding time (that IS what a riding camp should do, right??!)

Session #1: June 13 - 16, for Beginners and Intermediates.
Session #2: June 20 - 23, for Beginners and Intermediates.
Session #3: June 30 - July 3, for Advanced Riders. (This camp will include participating in a horse show on July 3rd)
The camps are a special time when our students learn horsemanship skills, improve their own riding skills, and equally important - they make new friends and have fun! Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. This information will also be posted on our website for easy access. Thanks!

I would LOVE to go to horse camp, and there definitely should be one for the chronologically experienced rider.

There are adult dressage camps! At least in Indiana - I just went to one at the end of April. 3 days of lessons - two private lessons a day plus a lunge lesson on a school master - a talk on one night given by a veterinarian and one night by a equine nutritionist, plus a group dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

The local GMO I just joined has Adult Dressage Camp a couple times per year! Maybe suggest it to one of your GMO's? It's usually a Fri-Sun weekend with 1-2 rides per day and theory classes with a couple different trainers.

My GMO, the California Dressage Society, does offer a Friday - Sunday Adult Amateur clinic but you have to be selected. I went one year, but you can't go two consecutive years. I was selected again this year, but Speedy came down with tendonitis so I had to cancel. My GMO is so huge that everyone would want to go if they held a real camp. :0)

There are adult horse camps. There's an adult dressage camp this coming weekend which looks pretty cool. Lots of dressage, yoga, and other sessions. It's at three barns connected by trails so you get out a bit in between lessons. I can't go, but it sounds really cool: http://jecballou.com/event-registration/?ee=227

That looks like so much fun. I see it is their first annual event - I hope they are successful enough to host it every year! I would totally pay for that!!!!

Adult camps are fun. I've done a few adult weekends and they are great. Maybe you could set one up....(you know, in all your free time)

BWAHAHAHA ...

First of all, the reason this is a dressage desert is because there aren't enough dressage riders in the vicinity to even put together a two hour clinic ... :0( I've done clinic weekends, but I would sure love to do an actual camp!
