IS A LITTLE JUMPING IN YOUR FUTURE?
Then our 'Jump' Camp will be right up your alley.
Brand new, and custom fit to our campers
Our summer horse campers have been asking us for
years
for a Horse Camp with lots and lots of jumping -
~ SO HERE IT IS ~
July 6th - July 12th, 2008
'Jump' into summer with this great horse camp !
Our summer horse campers have always
loved our
jumping program and so do we!
Riders with basic
to advanced jumping skills
can learn something
at
our jumping camps, and
this one is no exception!
The theme of the week
is jump, and jump we shall.
The week begins
with skills assessment, and we
cover flatwork,
small jumps, and canter work.
Then, as the
week progresses and our campers
become
more familiar with their mount, we move
on to develop a variety of related skills.
Camp is geared towards a variety of skill levels.
Learning to Jump - having FUN!.
Our facility has a full range of jumps and fillers,
and a large
240 x 130 sand ring, which we make FULL
use of during camp.
Our horses are friendly and talented
beasts that fit many levels
of rider, and we do our very
best to get a good fit so that our
campers can relax and
enjoy the camp and it's many benefits.
Jump Camp
includes segments on building and designing
varioius
courses, finding distances, developing form, and many
other very helpful lessons, with the goal of improving
their skills WHILE totally enjoying themselves!
Simple Cross Country for a TASTE of adventure!
With alot of elbow room here, it's only
natural
that we should make use of cross
country as a
source of Jumping Fun! Simple,
low level jumps
will encourage our campers
to enjoy the thrill
of jumping natural obstacles
over grassy terrain,
while keeping them safe
and feeling comfortable
.
If your rider has
not tried natural jumps yet,
or just plain
LOVES it - this is just the camp
to embrace
the excitement and give it a whirl.
Flatwork - Fun and Challenging
From a proper warmup and cool down to
flexing/bending, impulsion and leg yielding, we
cover all the basics to encourage proper riding
technique in preparation for jumping. Because
everyone needs to know that the quickest way
to a good jump is through proper flatwork!
Our campers will enjoy it, and the basics will be
moulded into something fun and easy to learn
so that our campers (and the horses!) will benefit!
HORSE CAMP = FREINDS!
The key to jumping is keep
it simple.
When riders are
performing at
a level that is
comfortable for them,
things
always go more smoothly.
That's one of the benefits of
our
personal spin on camp
- we keep
things in the comfort
zone!
Every year we get campers
of
differing talents and expertise,
and all our campers, from
rising stars
to advanced, are
dished up a program
that
keeps things fun and interesting!
As always, we go for full
immersion! From our cozy cabin
with nightly crackling campfire
in an on farm wilderness
campsite ~ to our nightly ritual
of goofing around & relaxing
by a roaring fire or watching a
movie - it's an atmosphere
that's proven itself to be a
popular
teenage experience!
There's room
for everyone
in this spacious cabin
- but
no
fighting over the couch!
Relaxing at night and enjoying
marshmallows is a main attraction
of all our horse camps!
So if your young rider is comfortable around horses, is totally obsessed with
JUMPING, is comfortable at walk trot AND canter, has started SOME jumping
already,
and is keen on learning a
deeper focus on what it takes to jump well -
this horse camp is a perfect solution! Contact us if you have ANY questions!
