Summer camps fill each year and register early to reserve your spot!
Campers will learn basic horsemanship and care while also learning about the different types of riding styles including Western, Roping, Barrel Racing, and many more.
Each day campers rotate through a series of educational stations that will teach them more about horses and the riding style they are learning that day. Campers ride in a group lesson setting and will ride mornings and afternoons. Education stations are all horse related and range from learning to determine a horses weight, feeding a balanced diet to learning the parts of the horse and tack.
We believe in teaching all aspects of horsemanship not just riding so campers will gain lots of hands on experience. Campers learn how to properly feed horses, clean stalls, care for their equipment, study anatomy, exercise physiology, and behavior. Our educated and CHA certified instructor make learning fun and easy to understand for all ages and riding levels.
While education and safety are top goals we can't leave out the FUN! Campers will participate in horse themed games and crafts and weather permitting the all time favorite WATER DAY!
On Friday of Camp week, we end with a mock Horse Show for all our family and parents to watch virtually! It is a fun way for family and friends to see how much our campers have learned all week.
Need A Hand Horse Training Lesson Health Safety
Due to today’s health awareness Need A Hand Horse Training has adopted the following health safety guidelines for their instructors, volunteers, students, and barn patrons. It is the responsibility of everyone to self-govern their own health. Patrons are encouraged to practice healthy habits such as but not limited to hand washing, physical distancing and limiting physical contact.
By participating in any events on the premises of Need A Hand Horse Training you are acknowledging the risks of interacting with others in a public setting. If an individual is sick or has been in contact with an individual that is sick, we ask that you do not attend barn activities for the recommended quarantine duration designated by your doctor or health professional.
Need A Hand staff, volunteers and patrons are not health professionals and will not give any medical recommendations or require pre exams prior to participation in any Need A Hand functions. Barn patrons are asked to self-regulate their own health or seek the guidance of a health professional should they feel ill or come into contact with someone who has become ill.
Need A Hand does not require the use of face coverings and while they may be worn while in the barn area face coverings ARE NOT allowed to be used while riding. Special requests may be granted in a private riding setting. This is for the safety of our riders. Seeing a student’s face and being able to clearly understand them is crucial for our instructors to assist them in riding safely. These precautions pertain to any type of viral or contagious illness and is not limited to COVID-19.
Thank you for your continued support and following of our barn policies. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact Courtney via email or phone.
