Typical Day at Horse Club

8:00 AMDrop Off

Drop off is under the gazebo at the big arena. Enter the left side of the gate (there is a horse shoe on the gate to secure the it open so it doesn't blow shut on your car) The gazebo is to the right at the end of the big arena.

8:05 AMCircle UP

This is where we all circle up and introduce ourselves. We state our name, age, how long (or if) we've ridden before, a fun fact about you or about horses and if the clubber has a favorite horse. We get silly, but we also go over some safety rules and discuss our plans for the day.

8:15 AMGrooming & Tacking Up

We teach proper grooming, saddling and bridling as we get ready to ride the horses. Beginners are paired with an experienced camper or volunteer to give them more instruction. Campers will learn how to tack up English and Western.

8:30 AMWe RIDE!

Again beginners are paired up with an instructor or knowledgable volunteer to give them personalized instruction on safety and control while riding.
Intermediate riders will be pair with other riders of the same level so we can work on improving their equitation and horsemanship..

10:30 AMWe CLEAN!

Depending on how many campers attend this week, we will sometimes split up the group where 3 to 4 clubbers will clean stalls, set up the feed and do water inside the barn while the other half rides. Then we switch out and the cleaners get to ride while the first group goes into the barn.

11:30 AMUntack and Feed The Horses Lunch

We bring the horses in from riding to untack them and cool them off. We make sure everything is cleaned up and the horses are fed and happy before gathering our stuff and heading to the gazebo for lunch time.

12:00 PMRide again?

After lunch we might take a pony or two into our trails and ride bareback. Or we might play a game with the horses. It depends on the weather and what the campers want to do.

1:00PMPick Up

We should be at the gazebo where you dropped off, but if we aren't there yet, it means we had too much fun and are running a few mins behind. Hang tight, we'll be out shortly.
We keep a tight schedule even after camp is over. Our instructors often have lessons scheduled, so it's significant that campers are picked up on time. Check out the confirmation email for what to do if you are going to be late and how much the fees are.
