Adult Equitation Day Camp
215-598-7792
 

          Adult camp has officially become a tradition. The camp is scheduled to accommodate the needs of our adult community.  The day normally begins at 9:00 a.m. with a continental breakfast. Participants bring something each day to contribute.

          Hunter Seat Equitation will be the discipline taught during the mounted segment of the daily curriculum. Flat work, jumping, and cross country riding will all be part of the program.

          After the horses are cared for and put away, lunch will follow. A different menu will be selected and prepared by the adult campers daily.

          Right after lunch, there will be a topic of discussion followed by a period of practical application and experience. This year the subjects to be covered are:

          1. horse identification; ie. markings, whirls, color, etc.
          2. the principles of lunging, and how to use a bitting rig
          3. bandaging, poulticing, and packing a hoof
          4. mane pulling, trimming, & braiding
          5. horse care products - what to use & when

          Camp will end at 3:00 with time before, for a swim at the pool and shopping at the Saddlery at Fox Heath.

          Cost: $325.  (after June 1st - $350.)

          A non-refundable $50. deposit is required upon registration.
