Ithaca's summer riding camps run 5 days (Monday to Friday), once in July and once in August. They are day or sleepover camps, that decision is up to the camper. Camp is for children 8 years and up. If your child has a pony or horse they may bring it as well. There is a limited number of children taken to enable us to give them more individualized attention.
Camper's ride twice a day, (approx. 3 hours a day.) they play games on horseback and take theory. Theory is adjusted to the level of the rider. The theory covers care of horses, lunging a pony (horse), boots & bandaging, how to set up a fitness program for your horse, first aid and more. For sleepover campers evenings include games bbq's etc.
