Ridge Riders Horse Camp

All your favorite parts of Sunderland Ranch Horse Camp wrapped into three days of trail packed fun! When you arrive in the morning you will be in charge of everything from pulling your horse from pasture, tacking & saddling for a 1/2 day ride with lunch on the trail. There will be 2 wranglers to a group of 6 students. We will ride three different trails throughout the week. Wranglers will instruct and help to make sure everyone is prepared with basics to enjoy there saddle time. This camp will not be based on horsemanship and will not include arena time or games. Lessons can be purchased if your student has interest in learning more. We are working toward confidence in the saddle and enjoyment of the trails and outdoors. Other outdoors activities and games may be built into each week. Expect between 2 & 3 hours in the saddle each day depending on group and skill level. Lunch will be packed and eaten in different locations in the woods. When we come in off the trails students will be unsaddling their horses and putting everything away as well as grooming their horses. Students will also help in the barn with stall cleaning and other chores as needed.

Make sure your student is ready with the appropriate gear to be comfortable no matter the weather. Wear lacing shoes or boots and have a layer available for cooler days. Watch forecast and be prepared for weather. Please pack enough lunch, snacks and water for each day. Kids are busy and burning lots of calories daily. 

Keep in mind if you have been to horse camp with Sunderland Ranch before this program will ride the same trail systems but he actually layout of the camp is more focussed on trail rides and less on other activities. No experience is needed, however athletic confidence and solid motor skills are a must. Consider how your child will respond riding and controlling a horse. 

Scheduled days could be a bit different from week to week. Daily schedule is 11am to 5pm
