Campers spend most of their time on the ground learning how horses think, move, and communicate. Daily pony rides give campers the chance to carry those new skills into the saddle, reinforcing confidence and connection. With the support of a youth mentor, each day builds on the last, helping kids feel comfortable and capable as they progress through the week.
Daily themes include:
Monday: How to say hello, grooming, horse anatomy and barn basics
Tuesday: Reading horse body language and seeing the effects of our energy
Wednesday: Leading a horse with calm, grounded confidence
Thursday: Using cues to explore how horses listen and learn
Friday: A fun obstacle course that brings all the skills together
This camp is ideal for children with little or no prior horse experience. Hello, Horse! offers kids an opportunity to form a genuine first connection with horses based on respect, curiosity, and confidence.
