Willowbrook Equestrian Center offers Day Camps for children
who love horses but who may have had little opportunity to be around them.
Beginners
will learn through hands-on experience the basics of caring for a horse,
how to lead and handle a horse safely, how to bridle and saddle, and how
to ride safely. Parents will want to use these economical, fun camps to reinforce their
child's interest in horses, and to discover whether riding lessons might
be in order. Experienced students will gain concentrated instruction and
develop advanced riding skills. We supply the horses and all the
equipment you will need. We will also hold one-day camps on one Sunday
per month: call us for dates. Gift certificates are available. Click
