Children's Day Camps
2009-2010

The Objective

The Program

Willowbrook Equestrian Center is again offering  Day Camps for children who love horses but who may have had little opportunity to be around them. Children 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 this camp to reinforce their child's interest in horses, and to discover whether that interest is sufficient to justify taking riding lessons, purchasing clothing and equipment, or possibly acquiring a horse of their own. Or, as a special treat for a great kid (gift certificates are available). Day Camp Application Form.pdf
