Camps

Give your child an amazing answer to the question, "What did you do on your summer vacation?"

My Own Pony Camp gets kids outdoors in an amazing natural setting to learn how to ride and care for their very own pony or horse for a week. They'll have an unforgettable week of riding, hiking, crafts, learning about horse science, fitness, and the environment. But most of all, there's lots of horsing around and all-out fun.

Our kid-friendly, knowledgeable staff is experienced in running kids’ riding camps. First and foremost is safety, because we understand that this is the biggest concern for parents (We know. Craig and Anne have 2 kids of their own).

With our indoor arena, riders never get too hot - so they are better able to enjoy their time and learn better with our instructors. For young riders, we do offer ponies.
