First Annual Fox Heath Adult Equitation Camp

The 1st annual Fox Heath Equitation Camp was a rousing success!!  Campers included new riders, riders returning to the sport after an extended absence, and those who have been riding their whole lives.  In spite of their differences, the group bonded immediately and enjoyed the week immensely.  The whole camp experience was extraordinary.  In addition to daily mounted Hunter Seat Equitation instruction and stimulating classroom sessions, there was plenty of time for good food and great fun. 

Daily Schedule

Each day started with a wholesome continental breakfast provided by the campers themselves.  After breakfast, everyone was more than ready for a daily dose of Clare Harris' expert riding instruction and Sean Marie's invaluable tutoring on 'things every rider should know'.  Lunch was another team effort that produced gourmet dishes complete with fine wine and sumptuous desserts.  The afternoon sessions offered campers the opportunity to swim, shop, and get in touch with their inner child by perticipating in numerous Arts and Crafts projects.

Special Activities

Several special sessions were interspersed throughout the week.  These included Betsy Harris' lesson on how to properly apply leg wraps; Becky Harris' dressage demonstration; and Claire's hands-on demonstration of the proper use and care of tack and riding equipment.  To top it all off, Lauren Dunn took everyone on a very enjoyable cross-country trail ride.  By the end of the week, all campers agreed that they had learned alot and would carry these memories with them until it is time for the 2nd Annual Adult Equitation Camp.

Fox Heath Riders Head North to Compete at an A Circuit Show in Vermont

East Dorset, Vermont, a gorgeous city and an amazing place not only for vacationers, but equestrians as well. Every summer Vermont holds the Vermont Summer Festival. Such a prestigious horse show is one that many only dream about. But for a few riders at Fox Heath, this dream came true.

On July 10th 2007 Lauren Massi with The Best man, Hannah Swayze and Dana Peterson with English Rose, and Lauren Dunn with Kabel packed up everything they could possibly fit into 2 trailers and 3 cars and headed for the Vermont Summer Festival to compete in the biggest show of their lives. The countryside was exquisite. They were surrounded by mountains and rolling hills everywhere. But what marveled them the most was the beauty and elegance of every single horse out of the hundreds at the show.

From the moment they arrived, nothing but excitement and thrill could be felt for being a part of this competition. Every single rider and family member that went worked from sunup to sundown taking care of their horses and making sure they were as happy and comfortable as possible. It was such a privilege to have Courtney Phipps as a trainer in Vermont. Her expertise and amazing personality helped everyone to achieve their goals of competing and pinning in the classes.

 

Lauren Massi brought home a 5th, 7th and 8th ribbon, Lauren Dunn a 4th, 5th, and 7th ribbons, Dana a 4th and two 8th place ribbons, and Hannah a 6th place ribbon. Their stay in Vermont consisted of five days spent with the horses all day. They couldn’t have thought of a better vacation than that. It was such a matchless and fantastic experience for everyone. They were so proud of their horses for really stepping up and showing off to really compete at the level they needed to.

Everyone is anticipating with great excitement going to another major show next summer and can only hope their horses feel the same exact way.
