Fun Filled Horse Riding Summer Camps

Are you looking for fun packed horse riding summer camps, then get prepared for some tips from Robin J. Derry below.

Title: Horseback Riding Summer Camps For "Yippee Kayay" Fun And Instruction

Not just horses like to "giddeeyup". Fledgling riders at kids horse camps get the hands-on experience of true horseback riding. The new age of experience-it-all growing up runs the gamut of choice...now includes skill and fun-intensive horse riding camp choices that offer western style riding and animal care skills to competition oriented rodeo riding along with dressage and equestrian summer camps. Kids from ages 4 to 16+ can ride and gain skills and confidence.

Overnight Horseback Riding Camps. A multi-day teen horseback riding summer camp gives kids the sort of time and location necessary to acquire all the horse back riding fundamentals. Think of it as an entry into the world of riding, but also learning how saddles are designed and fitted on each horse...what sort of food and water and grooming a horse needs...learning how to control a horse's direction, going forwards or backwards, or how to canter or go to a full-gallop while staying in control.

Girls Horse Camps. Horseback riding camps for girls are located around the country...from Maine and New Hampshire in the Northeast to Virginia, Texas, or out West in Montana, California and elsewhere. Young girl teens...or even younger girls from age 5 to age 16+ can select from a range of girls horse camp skills curricula...from ranch style pony riding focused on work-riding for managing cattle and property...to rodeo event-riding skills that eventually could lead to full-fledged competition riding, cattle roping, obstacle course riding...onto jumping competition and dressage associated with Olympic event riding. Most horseback riding camps for girls are 5 to 7-day programs.

Western Horse Camps. California horse camps compete with Texas horse camps as popular destinations for a full range of riding skills. Most programs offer coed horseback instruction. Kids learn how to mount and dismount a pony...how to size a saddle to the right horse, and tie down the straps and horse blanket...how to move forward, canter, ride open ground pastures, how to ride in singles or pairs. Most Western horse camps breaks up the day, in order to include "play time", swimming, hiking, simple chores and things to keep kids' minds stimulated. Horseback riding might occur on alternate days, unless a boy or girl is competition oriented, and then daily riding instruction is offered...obstacle course riding, jumping, onto dressage.

States Offering The Best Kids Horse Camps. If a boy or girl wants to do a mixed-bag of cool "stuff" during the summer, then the best camps will be those overnight horse camps offering riding, hiking, swimming, arts and crafts, games and practically any conceivable fun activity in a structured program of events. In addition to Texas and California locations, families in other regions can get outstanding programs with Michigan horse camps along with horseback riding camps in Virginia, Maine, Montana and even New York and New Jersey.

Enrollment Tips And Cost Estimates For Teen Summer Horse Back Riding Camps. Adventure...fun...new skills in riding, camping, hiking, fishing, swimming are part of the "package". The rest? Families sorting out "what to do this summer" need to qualify the horse camp in terms of quality of instruction, years of operation, whether the camp has been involved in any civil litigation suits alleging misconduct or accidental liability, and assess the quality of their insurance protection covering potential accident or illness of campers.

* Costs? There's no one set fee or pricing formula for horse back riding summer camps, but as a financial guide consider a budget of $150/day as "base costs"...next add your transportation costs including time away from work, gas, hotels both to and returning from camp...throw-in "incidentals" or pocket money for food, soda and entertainment and you'll get near to the actual costs for a typical horseback riding camp program.

Bottom Line. What could be cooler, and offer more adventure that's completely out-of-the-ordinary than a horse back riding camp? Kids get hands-on skills, learn about animal ecology and care, plus reach out to connected outdoors activities during this special time in their life.
