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 great
treat for a great kid (gift certificates are available).
Cost
$ 75 per day, or
$ 220 for 4 days
Attendees should wear running shoes or boots with heels,
tight trousers, and 'layered' upper clothing. We supply helmets but
bring a hat or cap, bottled water and a lunch.
