Summer camps are a fun-filled week of horses! Students will help with morning care of the horses (feeding, watering, pasture turnout, stall cleaning, etc.) and learn about horse anatomy, colors, breeds, conformation, and tack. We will ride twice a day and fill the remaining time with crafts, hands on horse knowledge, games, and trail rides. The last day of camp includes a fun show for parents to come watch what your kids have been up to all week.
We encourage all levels of riders to participate even if students have never ridden before. The cost of the summer camp is $350 and the mini-camp is $250.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a spot.
To register, please email ColumbiaEquestrian@yahoo.com or text
573-356-7993. We will need your child's name and contact information.
Please bring a completed riding waiver and payment in full before or by the first day of camp. Students should bring riding pants, boots, a bagged lunch, a water bottle, sunscreen, and bug spray. We have helmets for those who need to borrow them.
