Summer is almost here! Time for horse camp fun…
Golden Isles Riding Academy offers several camps during the year based on the local school calendar and summer break. Each camper is assigned his or her “own” horse for the day and are taught horse safety, how to groom, lead, saddle and bridle their horse in addition to riding. Campers enjoy two riding sessions each day along with other horse skills such as braiding, clipping, applying leg bandages and other care items. The central focus of the camp is, of course, riding and improving their horsemanship skills, but fun is always at the top of the agenda which includes horse related games, crafts and other activities. Campers have the full attention of the staff as regular lessons are canceled during camp hours. Camp is a great way to introduce a new rider to the responsibility of being a horse person and to the exciting world of horses.
What to Wear: Campers must wear long pants and hard sole shoes. Tennis shoes or English paddock boots are acceptable. Campers must wear a helmet while riding – helmets are provided. Campers can bring shorts to change into after riding. NO flip-flops, sandals, or crocs. Sunscreen and bug spray are a plus!
What to Bring: Bring your smile and plenty of energy for a fun-filled day. Each camper should bring a sack lunch along with snacks and plenty of water/drinks. Please label your campers belongings.
