Welcome to Summer Camp of 2008
At West Metro Horse Camp, in order to be a good "horse hand" we start with the basics and teach the children about why the horse acts and does what he does. This is the key to communication and how to get the results you want. Success with the horse depends on whether someone knows this or not.
Camp events will include a parade of breeds and colors, demonstrations on safety, grooming, saddling, and bridling of the horses, herd study, and many other learning experiences. All with hands on participation and OF COURSE plenty of riding, about 4 hours a day.
All that is needed is a love for horses, jeans or slacks, boots or shoes with a heel, and bring a bag lunch! We supply the horses and the equipment!
We welcome Special Needs children
Such as ADD, ADHD, Autistic, etc. Please call if you have any questions about Special Needs we can support
