This summer The DHF Riding School is introducing our summer camp. We are offering three different camps based on the riders riding experience.
Advanced Rider Camp: Ages 10 and up. Riders must be able to walk, trot, and canter independently, riders are beginning to jump or have some skills that are already developed over fences.
Intermediate Rider Camp: Ages 8 and up. Riders that can walk and trot independently, are learning to canter, and are developing skills to start learning to jump.
Beginner Rider Camp: Ages 6 and up. This camp is for riders who are either new to riding or who have never ridden before. During camp they will learn the necessary skills needed.
Each week will include fun and a great learning environment, with horse knowledge, trivia, fun facts, and lots of hands on experience. Campers will enjoy horse related activities, scavenger hunt, arts and crafts, games and other activities. Campers will grow while at DHF through learning, horsemanship, confidence, teamwork, and responsibility.
