Horsemanship: You will learn many of the subtle ways horses tell you what they are thinking (thus allowing you to stay as safe as possible). You will learn grooming (bonding), tacking, horse care and much, much more.
Recreational Vaulting / Mounted Games daily!! 
Our ENTIRE program is a hands on horse experience!!
“The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a child”
Horses have a great deal to offer - if presented in the proper way.
1) They will teach: patience, understanding, forgiveness, fair treatment, – They will freely give these and demand that you give these qualities in return. It is the nature of the beast.
2) They will teach the child to be aware of their surroundings (from a blowing blade of grass to a speeding car). Keeping safe when riding is a partnership between horse and rider.
3) Horses will teach humility. They have a wonderful sense of humour and just when you believe yourself to be “all THAT”, they will hand you a curve ball, preferably when there is an audience!
4) Horses teach acceptance. Just as every person is different; every horse is different as well; you will learn to remember and accept each ones particular needs. They do not care about your age, what you look like or what clothes you wear, all they ask is that you are kind and fair.
5) They teach the benefits of hard work. They will instil self-confidence, as they will let you know instantly when you have reached your goal.
6) They will teach pride for a job well done. Taking a horse from a mud encrusted “swamp creature” to a shining steed…mastering the rising trot…adjusting your own stirrups…teaching a young horse to overcome its fear of the unknown…or just getting ON the horse with no help!
Please note - the emphasis here is not on Competition or showing. We have 3 simple goals
1) To create riders that will be as safe and confident as possible on and around horses, regardless of whether they choose to jump a 4' fence or ride bareback in a field
2) To create loving , knowlegeable and responsible future owners for horses.
3) To have FUN with horses!

Kelsey and Jamie, Victoria, Becky & Niki ! Rosee and Marcelle round out our gang
** These young adults have had a major role in the ground manners, backing and training of our horses. They used care, thought, extreme patience, and at times – sheer will - to help these horses become happy, safe and friendly. They give teenagers a good name and I am proud to have them here. They work well with the campers and activley participate in our program.

Each summer we try to have a "project horse" or 2 for our advanced students to gain hands on training experience and offer variety - We teach them proper ground manners right up to walk, trot and canter (depending on the horse) This year we helped Sonya and Knight
Below is a photo of Victoria's 4 year old Canadien "Knight" - with our rider from France, Irene.
Our horses are family - and NONE of them are for sale
We do not buy and sell horses.
