Lessons include mounted and
unmounted lessons:
theory, tacking, parts of the horse, grooming, packing, conformation,
care
of the horse, skills practice, and much more. Riding lessons begin in
the
ring and move out onto the trails as ability permits. Experienced
riders
staying at least three weeks will have the option of a horseback lunch
or supper ride and/or an overnight campout.
Camp Winding Gap teaches from the basics of catching the
horse, grooming/tacking,
basic seat & hand positions, and improving the seat at the
walk/trot/canter
through learning about overnight picketing of horses, and even using a
pack horse to carry the gear!
Experienced riders also have the option of
assisting with the lower level riding classes on occasion. This not
only
allows more time with the horses, but also increases skills by
practicing
teaching them!
Camp Winding Gap is dedicated
to the safety
and well-being of your child while in our care. In addition to safety
helmets
(always worn, and provided by the camp) and proper clothing for riding,
we place your child in the level of riding for which they are most
suited.
Your child will become comfortable in the horse world by gaining
experience
and confidence through our program.
